Famous quotes containing the words height and/or function:
“How frightening it is to have reached the height of human accomplishment in art that must forever borrow from life’s abundance.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Philosophical questions are not by their nature insoluble. They are, indeed, radically different from scientific questions, because they concern the implications and other interrelations of ideas, not the order of physical events; their answers are interpretations instead of factual reports, and their function is to increase not our knowledge of nature, but our understanding of what we know.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
