Famous quotes containing the words force and/or constant:
“The more we reduce ourselves to machines in the lower things, the more force we shall set free to use in the higher.”

“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
