Famous quotes containing the words word and/or problem:
“One word is too often profaned
For me to profane it,
One feeling too falsely disdained
For thee to disdain it;”

“The problem of culture is seldom grasped correctly. The goal of a culture is not the greatest possible happiness of a people, nor is it the unhindered development of all their talents; instead, culture shows itself in the correct proportion of these developments. Its aim points beyond earthly happiness: the production of great works is the aim of culture.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
