Famous quotes containing the words perfectly, loving and/or god:
“Though of erect nature, man is far above the plants. For man’s superior part, his head, is turned toward the superior part of the world, and his inferior part is turned toward the inferior world; and therefore he is perfectly disposed as to the general situation of his body. Plants have the superior part turned towards the lower world, since their roots correspond to the mouth, and their inferior parts towards the upper world.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
“Art, in the artist, is proportion, or, a habitual respect to the whole by an eye loving beauty in details. And the wonder and charm of it is the sanity in insanity which it denotes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A matter that becomes clear ceases to concern us.—What was that god thinking who counseled, “Know thyself!” Did he perhaps mean, “Cease to concern yourself! Become objective!”—And Socrates?—And “scientific men”?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
