Metaphysical Attraction

Famous quotes containing the words metaphysical and/or attraction:

“By an individual being, whatever one’s metaphysical doctrine, one means an unique being, that is, a being which is alone of its own type, or is such that no other of its class exists.”
—Josiah Royce (1855–1916)

“We should omit a main attraction in these books, if we said nothing of their humor. Of this indispensable pledge of sanity, without some leaven of which the abstruse thinker may justly be suspected of mysticism, fanaticism, or insanity, there is a superabundance in Carlyle.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
