“That science is incapable of solving in its own way those fundamental questions is no sufficient reason for slighting them”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“In no social institution is the codified ritual of behavior more rigid than in funerals. Imagine the indignation if the minister altered his sermon or experimented with facial expression. Consider the shock if, at the funeral parlors, any chairs were used but those little folding yellow torture chairs with the hard seats. No, dying, a man may be loved, hated, mourned, missed; but once dead he becomes the chief ornament of a complicated and formal social celebration.”
Tortilla Flat • John Steinbeck“Its name is Public Opinion. It is held in reverence. It settles everything. Some think it is the voice of God.”
Europe and Elsewhere • Mark Twain“„If I know what love is, it is because of you.“”
Narcissus and Goldmund • Hermann Hesse“I think that the philosopher must, for his own purposes, carry methodological strictness to an extreme when he is investigating and pursuing his truths, but when he is ready to enunciate them and give them out, he ought to avoid the cynical skill with which some scientists, like a Hercules at the fair, amuse themselves by displaying to the public the biceps of their technique.”
