Material Paradox

Famous quotes containing the words material and/or paradox:

“Surely, we are provided with senses as well fitted to penetrate the spaces of the real, the substantial, the eternal, as these outward are to penetrate the material universe. Veias, Menu, Zoroaster, Socrates, Christ, Shakespeare, Swedenborg,—these are some of our astronomers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“...This
is the paradox of vision:
Sharp perception softens
our existence in the world.”
