Famous quotes containing the word concept:

    By speaking, by thinking, we undertake to clarify things, and that forces us to exacerbate them, dislocate them, schematize them. Every concept is in itself an exaggeration.
    José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    The concept is interesting: to see, as though reflected
    In streaming windowpanes, the look of others through
    Their own eyes.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Every new concept first comes to the mind in a judgment.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
