Famous quotes containing the words universal and/or pictures:
“The axioms of physics translate the laws of ethics. Thus, “the whole is greater than its part;” “reaction is equal to action;” “the smallest weight may be made to lift the greatest, the difference of weight being compensated by time;” and many the like propositions, which have an ethical as well as physical sense. These propositions have a much more extensive and universal sense when applied to human life, than when confined to technical use.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
““And what is the use of a book,” thought Alice, “without pictures or conversations?””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
