State Associations

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or associations:

“The only way into truth is through one’s own annihilation; through dwelling a long time in a state of extreme and total humiliation.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)

“Wild as it was, it was hard for me to get rid of the associations of the settlements. Any steady and monotonous sound, to which I did not distinctly attend, passed for a sound of human industry.... Our minds anywhere, when left to themselves, are always thus busily drawing conclusions from false premises.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
