“. . . Charlemagne, Charles the great, today stands for the friendship between France and Germany. That is why always to a true European, now plays the major role in the German public memory of Charlemagne. . . . If I were, in my imagination to place Charlemagne in a particular setting today, I would locate him in the Cathedral of Reims in 1962, where Adenauer and Charles de Gaule celebrated the new brotherhood between the French and the German nations. That was a moment in which Charlemagne, Charles the Great was absolutely present, giving legitimation for both statesmen, in a European way which Transcends national interests. ~ Horst Bredekamp ~ Page 208 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_Bredekamp

John Stuart Mill: “If there are any marks at all of special design in creation, one of the things most evidently designed is that a large proportion of all animals should pass their existence in tormenting and devouring other animals. . . If Nature and Man are both the works of a Being of a perfect goodness, that Being intended Nature as a scheme to be amended, not imitated, by Man.” socialsciences.mcmaster.ca/econ/ugcm/3ll3/mill/utilitarianism.pdf

Thomas Henry Huxley: “The practice of that which is ethically best -- what we call goodness or virtue -- involves a course of conduct which, in all respects, is opposed to that which leads fo success in the cosmic struggle for existence. In place of ruthless self-assertion it demands self-restraint, in place of thrusting aside, or treading down, all competitors, it requires that the individual shall not merely respect but shall help his fellows; its influence is directed, not so much of the survival of the fittest, as to the fitting of as many as possible to survive.”

John Constable (1776-1837) Even as the Industrial Revolution was transforming the land, the beauties of English countryside found their loftiest celebration in the landscapes of John Constable. England’s other great romantic painter. In sharp contrast to that of Turner, his nature was peculiarly harmonious, well maintained, and rich in spiritual values. The first artist of importance of paint outdoors, the bright pure colors of this 1821 masterpiece had a powerful impact on young French painters like Delacroix.
