Famous quotes containing the word direction:

    “From cradle to grave this problem of running order through chaos, direction through space, discipline through freedom, unity through multiplicity, has always been, and must always be, the task of education, as it is the moral of religion, philosophy, science, art, politics and economy; but a boy’s will is his life, and he dies when it is broken, as the colt dies in harness, taking a new nature in becoming tame.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “When you know what men are capable of you marvel neither at their sublimity nor their baseness. There are no limits in either direction apparently.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    “The learned and the studious of thought have no monopoly of wisdom. Their violence of direction in some degree disqualifies them to think truly.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
