Famous quotes containing the words complex and/or manifold:
“When distant and unfamiliar and complex things are communicated to great masses of people, the truth suffers a considerable and often a radical distortion. The complex is made over into the simple, the hypothetical into the dogmatic, and the relative into an absolute.”

“Civilisation is hooped together, brought
Under a rule, under the semblance of peace
By manifold illusion....”
