Culture is the arts elevated to a set of beliefs.

For many years I have lived uncomfortably with the belief that most planning and architectural design suffers for lack of real and basic purpose. The ultimate purpose it seems to me must be the improvement of mankind.

There is something about the South that accepts the supernatural. If you don't accept it and you're having a conversation with someone who does it's just one of those polite things where you don't question their belief in ghosts. You just go 'Oh yeah okay.' It's amazing to be able to have conversations like that.

Belief is nothing but a more vivid lively forcible firm steady conception of an object than what the imagination alone is ever able to attain.

The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.
