Fullerton

Famous quotes containing the word fullerton:

    Successful socialism depends on the perfectibility of man. Unless all, or nearly all, men are high-minded and clear-sighted, it is bound to be a rotten failure in any but a physical sense. Even through it is altruism, socialism means materialism. You can guarantee the things of the body to every one, but you cannot guarantee the things of the spirit to every one; you can guarantee only that the opportunity to seek them shall not be denied to any one who chooses to seek them.
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    The insidiousness of science lies in its claim to be not a subject, but a method. You could ignore a subject; no subject is all-inclusive. But a method can plausibly be applied to anything within the field of consciousness.
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

    ... it is one thing to sow your wild oats in talk, and quite another to live by your own kaleidoscopic paradoxes.
    —Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
