Net Shape

Famous quotes containing the words net and/or shape:

“Mental events such as perceivings, rememberings, decisions, and actions resist capture in the net of physical theory.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)

“Man is not merely the sum of his masks. Behind the shifting face of personality is a hard nugget of self, a genetic gift.... The self is malleable but elastic, snapping back to its original shape like a rubber band. Mental illness is no myth, as some have claimed. It is a disturbance in our sense of possession of a stable inner self that survives its personae.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
