Famous quotes containing the words operation, enduring and/or freedom:
“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
“The stars are distant and unobtrusive, but bright and enduring as our fairest and most memorable experiences.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
