Famous quotes containing the words reduce and/or symptoms:

“Civilization is nothing else than the attempt to reduce force to being the ultima ratio.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

“There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
