Hells Canyon Complex

Famous quotes containing the words hells, canyon and/or complex:

    This is the man who classified the bits
    Of his friends’ hells into a pigeonhole—
    He hung each disparate anguish on the spits
    Parboiled and roasted in his own withering soul.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    In a world that holds books and babies and canyon trails, why should one condemn oneself to live day-in, day-out with people one does not like, and sell oneself to chaperone and correct them?
    Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)

    In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
