Principal Vanishing Point

Famous quotes containing the words principal, vanishing and/or point:

    God should not be called an individual substance, since the principal of individuation is matter.
    Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)

    Then, though I prize my friends, I cannot afford to talk with them and study their visions, lest I lose my own. It would indeed give me a certain household joy to quit this lofty seeking, this spiritual astronomy, or search of stars, and come down to warm sympathies with you; but then I know well I shall mourn always the vanishing of my mighty gods.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The whole point about the true unconscious is that it is all the time moving forward, beyond the range of its own fixed laws or habits. It is no good trying to superimpose an ideal nature upon the unconscious.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
