Human Free

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or free:

“... geometry became a symbol for human relations, except that it was better, because in geometry things never go bad. If certain things occur, if certain lines meet, an angle is born. You cannot fail. It’s not going to fail; it is eternal. I found in rules of mathematics a peace and a trust that I could not place in human beings. This sublimation was total and remained total. Thus, I’m able to avoid or manipulate or process pain.”
—Louise Bourgeois (b. 1911)

“Democracy shows not only its power in reforming governments, but in regenerating a race of men—and this is the greatest blessing of free governments.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
