Finite Qualities

Famous quotes containing the words finite and/or qualities:

“Are not all finite beings better pleased with motions relative than absolute?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Man is by nature a pragmatic materialist, a mechanic, a lover of gadgets and gadgetry; and these are qualities that characterize the “establishment” which regulates modern society: pragmatism, materialism, mechanization, and gadgetry. Woman, on the other hand, is a practical idealist, a humanitarian with a strong sense of noblesse oblige, an altruist rather than a capitalist.”
—Elizabeth Gould Davis (b. 1910)
