Absolute

Famous quotes containing the word absolute:

“Hear you this Triton of the minnows? Mark you
His absolute “shall”?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)

“It is an absolute and virtually divine perfection to know how to enjoy our being rightfully.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
