Temperature State

Famous quotes containing the words temperature and/or state:

“The bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self.... And so at the cost of intensity he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he prefers comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire.”
—Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)

“The State is to make what is useful. The individual is to make what is beautiful.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
