Human Form

Famous quotes containing the words human form, human and/or form:

    Every epoch which seeks renewal first projects its ideal into a human form. In order to comprehend its own essence tangibly, the spirit of the time chooses a human being as its prototype and raising this single individual, often one upon whom it has chanced to come, far beyond his measure, the spirit enthuses itself for its own enthusiasm.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    Common sense is judgment without reflection, shared by an entire class, an entire nation, or the entire human race.
    Giambattista Vico (1688–1744)

    Language disguises the thought; so that from the external form of the clothes one cannot infer the form of the thought they clothe, because the external form of the clothes is constructed with quite another object than to let the form of the body be recognized.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
