Famous quotes containing the words physical, appearance and/or inorganic:

    Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, following blind instinct, after an appearance of naturalness. The one leads to the highest peaks of art, the other to its lowest depths.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    Man, unlike anything organic or inorganic in the universe, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his concepts, emerges ahead of his accomplishments.
    John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
