Higher Order Terms

Famous quotes containing the words higher, order and/or terms:

    We are conscious of an animal in us, which awakens in proportion as our higher nature slumbers. It is reptile and sensual, and perhaps cannot be wholly expelled; like the worms which, even in life and health, occupy our bodies. Possibly we may withdraw from it, but never change its nature. I fear that it may enjoy a certain health of its own; that we may be well, yet not pure.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    I thought that the chief thing to be done in order to equal boys was to be learned and courageous. So I decided to study Greek and learn to manage a horse.
    Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    Whoever today speaks of human existence in terms of power, efficiency, and “historical tasks” ... is an actual or potential assassin.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
