Famous quotes containing the words relation to and/or relation:

    “The difference between objective and subjective extension is one of relation to a context solely.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “Concord is just as idiotic as ever in relation to the spirits and their knockings. Most people here believe in a spiritual world ... in spirits which the very bullfrogs in our meadows would blackball. Their evil genius is seeing how low it can degrade them. The hooting of owls, the croaking of frogs, is celestial wisdom in comparison.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
