Physical Society

Famous quotes containing the words physical and/or society:

    A more problematic example is the parallel between the increasingly abstract and insubstantial picture of the physical universe which modern physics has given us and the popularity of abstract and non-representational forms of art and poetry.

    Harvey Brooks (b. 1915)

    The paradox of education is precisely this—that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.
    James Baldwin (1924–1987)
