Famous quotes containing the words dialectic and/or principles:
“Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
“It is a life-and-death conflict between all those grand, universal, man-respecting principles which we call by the comprehensive term democracy, and all those partial, person-respecting, class-favoring elements which we group together under that silver-slippered word aristocracy. If this war does not mean that, it means nothing.”
—Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825–1921)
