Famous quotes containing the words generation and/or insight:
“The mind is a finer body, and resumes its functions of feeding, digesting, absorbing, excluding, and generating, in a new and ethereal element. Here, in the brain, is all the process of alimentation repeated, in the acquiring, comparing, digesting, and assimilating of experience. Here again is the mystery of generation repeated.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The general interest of the masses might take the place of the insight of genius if it were allowed freedom of action.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
