But in fact, the two have a lot in common, and the creative spirit is similar in both. ~Vilayanur S. Ramachandran
#quotes #vilayanur-s-ramachandran #art #science #creativity #thinking

As a matter of selective necessity, man is an agent. He is, in his own apprehension, a centre of unfolding impulsive activity; "teleological activity." He is an agent seeking in every act the accomplishment of some concrete, objective, impersonal end. By force of being such an agent, he is possessed of a taste for effective work, and a distaste for futile effort. ~Thorstein Veblen
#quotes #thorstein-veblen #human

If one shed tears, they must be shed on one's pillow. ~Henry Adams
#quotes #henry-adams #weeping

Young people have many pleasures and many sorrows, because they only have themselves to think of, so every wish and every notion assume importance; every pleasure is tasted to the full, but also every sorrow, and many who find that their wishes cannot be fulfilled, immediately put an end to their lives. ~Hermann Hesse
