Human Wishes

Famous quotes containing the words human and/or wishes:

“How great seems human progress when we consider where it began, and how insignificant, when we contemplate the goals for which it strives.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
