Famous quotes containing the words cosmic and/or network:
“For morality life is a war, and the service of the highest is a sort of cosmic patriotism which also calls for volunteers.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
