Famous quotes containing the word immediately:
“What we do in our dreams we also do when we are awake: we invent and make up the person we are dealing with—and immediately forget that we have done it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“A more problematic example is the parallel between the increasingly abstract and insubstantial picture of the physical universe which modern physics has given us and the popularity of abstract and non-representational forms of art and poetry. In each case the representation of reality is increasingly removed from the picture which is immediately presented to us by our senses.”
—Harvey Brooks (b. 1915)
“Suddenly to realise that one is sitting, damned, among the other damned—it is a most disquieting experience; so disquieting that most of us react to it by immediately plunging more deeply into our particular damnation in the hope, generally realized, that we may be able, at least for a time, to stifle our revolutionary knowledge.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
