Famous quotes containing the words drive and/or formula:
“To drive men from independence to live on alms, is itself great cruelty.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“Ideals possess the strange quality that if they were completely realized they would turn into nonsense. One could easily follow a commandment such as “Thou shalt not kill” to the point of dying of starvation; and I might establish the formula that for the proper functioning of the mesh of our ideals, as in the case of a strainer, the holes are just as important as the mesh.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
