Famous quotes containing the words test, real and/or analysis:

    “Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence. Its test is, that it will explain all phenomena.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “But real action is in silent moments. The epochs of our life are not in the visible facts of our choice of a calling, our marriage, our acquisition of an office, and the like, but in a silent thought by the way-side as we walk; in a thought which revises our entire manner of life, and says,—”Thus hast thou done, but it were better thus.””
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Analysis as an instrument of enlightenment and civilization is good, in so far as it shatters absurd convictions, acts as a solvent upon natural prejudices, and undermines authority; good, in other words, in that it sets free, refines, humanizes, makes slaves ripe for freedom. But it is bad, very bad, in so far as it stands in the way of action, cannot shape the vital forces, maims life at its roots. Analysis can be a very unappetizing affair, as much so as death.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
