Absorption/logic

Famous quotes containing the words absorption and/or logic:

“The symbolic view of things is a consequence of long absorption in images. Is sign language the real language of Paradise?”

“...some sort of false logic has crept into our schools, for the people whom I have seen doing housework or cooking know nothing of botany or chemistry, and the people who know botany and chemistry do not cook or sweep. The conclusion seems to be, if one knows chemistry she must not cook or do housework.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
