Pure Blooded Individuals

Famous quotes containing the words pure and/or individuals:

    If an opinion can eventually go to the determination of a practical belief, it, in so far, becomes itself a practical belief; and every proposition that is not pure metaphysical jargon and chatter must have some possible bearing upon practice.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    The masses always end up wholeheartedly believing and following those individuals whom they themselves mock, individuals whom they curse and persecute, but individuals who, not fearing their curses or their persecution, continue steadily forward, having fastened a spiritual gaze on the only goal such individuals can see.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)
