Berkeley Springs

Famous quotes containing the words berkeley and/or springs:

    If we admit a thing so extraordinary as the creation of this world, it should seem that we admit something strange, and odd, and new to human apprehension, beyond any other miracle whatsoever.
    —George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    A human action becomes genuinely important when it springs from the soil of a clear-sighted awareness of the temporality and the ephemerality of everything human. It is only this awareness that can breathe any greatness into an action.
    Václav Havel (b. 1936)
