Famous quotes containing the words doric and/or order:

    “Odour of blood when Christ was slain
    Made all Platonic tolerance vain
    And vain all Doric discipline.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “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)
