Substitution Errors

Famous quotes containing the words substitution and/or errors:

    To play is nothing but the imitative substitution of a pleasurable, superfluous and voluntary action for a serious, necessary, imperative and difficult one. At the cradle of play as well as of artistic activity there stood leisure, tedium entailed by increased spiritual mobility, a horror vacui, the need of letting forms no longer imprisoned move freely, of filling empty time with sequences of notes, empty space with sequences of form.
    Max J. Friedländer (1867–1958)

    Truth has not single victories; all things are its organs,—not only dust and stones, but errors and lies.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
