Simple Idea

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or idea:

    Whenever a person strives, by the help of dialectic, to start in pursuit of every reality by a simple process of reason, independent of all sensuous information—never flinching, until by an act of the pure intelligence he has grasped the real nature of good—he arrives at the very end of the intellectual world.
    Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    No idea is so antiquated that it was not once modern. No idea is so modern that it will not someday be antiquated.
