Famous quotes containing the words direct and/or limit:
“The fate of our times is characterized by rationalization and intellectualization and, above all, by the “disenchantment of the world.” Precisely the ultimate and most sublime values have retreated from public life either into the transcendental realm of mystic life or into the brotherliness of direct and personal human relations. It is not accidental that our greatest art is intimate and not monumental.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)
“Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 11:7.
