Full Abstraction

Famous quotes containing the words full and/or abstraction:

    Out, out, brief candle!
    Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
    And then is heard no more. It is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    By “object” is meant some element in the complex whole that is defined in abstraction from the whole of which it is a distinction.
    John Dewey (1859–1952)
