Famous quotes containing the words concepts, advanced and/or soaring:
“It is impossible to dissociate language from science or science from language, because every natural science always involves three things: the sequence of phenomena on which the science is based; the abstract concepts which call these phenomena to mind; and the words in which the concepts are expressed. To call forth a concept, a word is needed; to portray a phenomenon, a concept is needed. All three mirror one and the same reality.”
—Antoine Lavoisier (1743–1794)
“Having advanced to the limit of boldness, child, you have stumbled against the lofty pedestal of Justice.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery—always buzzing, humming, soaring roaring diving, and then buried in mud. And why? What’s this passion for?”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
