some favorite quotes:
“The
goal of our intellectual efforts cannot be a static, polished possession...In
our many efforts toward knowledge, science, math, logic as in life itself,
it is the process, not the terminus, that should concern us - if we are wise.”
Bruce Aune Rationalism, Empiricism, and Pragmatism
"Everything
that grows holds in perfection but a little moment"
Shakespeare Sonnet 15
“America
is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization
in between.”
Oscar Wilde
“Arguments
are to be avoided; they are always vulgar and often convincing.”
Oscar Wilde
"If art can't look good except in the anticeptic gallery spaces dictated by museum fashion of the last 25 years, then it condemned itself to a somewhat limited vocabulary" Charles Saatchi The Art Newspaper Dec. 2 2004
“I
hold that man is in the right who is most closely in league with the future.”
Henrik Ibsen
We shall
not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
T.S Eliot The Little Gidding
