Essentially

Famous quotes containing the word essentially:

“Sorrow has the fortunate peculiarity that it preys upon itself. It dies of starvation. Since it is essentially an interruption of habits, it can be replaced by new habits. Constituting, as it does, a void, it is soon filled up by a real “horror vacui.””
—J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)

“To an immature nature essentially honest and humane, forewarning intimations of subtler danger from one’s kind come tardily if at all.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“every subjective phenomenon is essentially connected with a single point of view, and it seems inevitable that an objective, physical theory will abandon that point of view.”
—Thomas Nagel (b. 1938)
