Famous quotes containing the words progress, convention, biological and/or diversity:
“pity this busy monster, manunkind,
not. Progress is a comfortable disease:”
—E.E. (Edward Estlin)
“No convention gets to be a convention at all except by grace of a lot of clever and powerful people first inventing it, and then imposing it on others. You can be pretty sure, if you are strictly conventional, that you are following genius—a long way off. And unless you are a genius yourself, that is a good thing to do.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“Man’s biological weakness is the condition of human culture.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“We call the intention good which is right in itself, but the action is good, not because it contains within it some good, but because it issues from a good intention. The same act may be done by the same man at different times. According to the diversity of his intention, however, this act may be at one time good, at another bad.”
—Peter Abelard (1079–1142)
