Famous quotes containing the words error and/or theory:
“They have their belief, these poor Tibet people, that Providence sends down always an Incarnation of Himself into every generation. At bottom some belief in a kind of pope! At bottom still better, a belief that there is a Greatest Man; that he is discoverable; that, once discovered, we ought to treat him with an obedience which knows no bounds. This is the truth of Grand Lamaism; the discoverability is the only error here.”
—Thomas Carlyle (17951881)
“Freud was a hero. He descended to the Underworld and met there stark terrors. He carried with him his theory as a Medusas head which turned these terrors to stone.”
—R.D. (Ronald David)
