Famous quotes containing the words specific and/or explanations:

    “In effect, to follow, not to force the public inclination; to give a direction, a form, a technical dress, and a specific sanction, to the general sense of the community, is the true end of legislature.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    “We operate exclusively with things that do not exist, with lines, surfaces, bodies, atoms, divisible time spans, divisible spaces—how could explanations be possible at all when we initially turn everything into images, into our images!”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
