Activity

Famous quotes containing the word activity:

“The Good of man is the active exercise of his soul’s faculties in conformity with excellence or virtue....

—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)

“For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity or perception to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: rapture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Humour is by far the most significant activity of the human brain.”
—Edward De Bono (b. 1933)
