Act Applies

Famous quotes containing the words act and/or applies:

“To perceive means to immobilize ... we seize, in the act of perception, something which outruns perception itself.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)

“At present, man applies to nature but half his force. He works on the world with his understanding alone. He lives in it, and masters it by a penny-wisdom; and he that works most in it, is but a half-man, and whilst his arms are strong and his digestion good, his mind is imbruted, and he is a selfish savage.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
