Famous quotes containing the words standard, reference and/or values:

    “Error is a supposition that pleasure and pain, that intelligence, substance, life, are existent in matter. Error is neither Mind nor one of Mind’s faculties. Error is the contradiction of Truth. Error is a belief without understanding. Error is unreal because untrue. It is that which seemeth to be and is not. If error were true, its truth would be error, and we should have a self-evident absurdity—namely, erroneous truth. Thus we should continue to lose the standard of Truth.”
    —Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)

    “In writing these Tales ... at long intervals, I have kept the book-unity always in mind ... with reference to its effect as part of a whole.”
    —Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

    “The values to which the conservative appeals are inevitably caricatured by the individuals designated to put them into practice.”
    —Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
