Famous quotes containing the words goal and/or state:
“Religion means goal and way, politics implies end and means. The political end is recognizable by the fact that it may be attained—in success—and its attainment is historically recorded. The religious goal remains, even in man’s highest experiences, that which simply provides direction on the mortal way; it never enters into historical consummation.”
—Martin Buber (1878–1965)
“Most of us are about as eager to be changed as we were to be born, and go through our changes in a similar state of shock.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
