Pace

Famous quotes containing the word pace:

“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)

“We judge a horse not only by its pace on a racecourse, but also by its walk, nay, when resting in its stable.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“In philosophy if you aren’t moving at a snail’s pace you aren’t moving at all.”
—Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
