Famous quotes containing the word faculties:
“The Good of man is the active exercise of his soul’s faculties in conformity with excellence or virtue.... Moreover this activity must occupy a complete lifetime; for one swallow does not make spring, nor does one fine day; and similarly one day or a brief period of happiness does not make a man supremely blessed and happy.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“Is boredom anything less than the sense of one’s faculties slowly dying?”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
