Famous quotes containing the words complex and/or manifold:
“In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“Odysseus saw the sirens; they were charming,
Blonde, with snub breasts and little neat posteriors,”
—John Streeter Manifold (b. 1915)
