Famous quotes containing the words death, ilyich, tchaikovsky and/or theories:
“But the life of Spirit is not the life that shrinks from death and keeps itself untouched by devastation, but rather the life that endures it and maintains itself in it. It wins its truth only when, in utter dismemberment, it finds itself.... Spirit is this power only by looking the negative in the face, and tarrying with it. This tarrying with the negative is the magical power that converts it into being. This power is identical with what we earlier called the Subject.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities—that is not to be taken seriously in politics.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
“Roll over, Beethoven,
And tell Tchaikovsky the news.”
—Chuck Berry (b. 1926)
“The wise man regulates his conduct by the theories both of religion and science. But he regards these theories not as statements of ultimate fact but as art-forms.”
—J.B.S. (John Burdon Sanderson)
