Open Pace

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or pace:

“To become wise you have to want to experience certain experiences, and so to run into their open jaws. This is very dangerous, to be sure; many a “wise man” has been eaten up in doing so.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“The pace of science forces the pace of technique. Theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us; the successful production of the fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb. We do not choose our problems, we do not choose our products; we are pushed, we are forced—by what? By a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it, and which makes man its appendix.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
