Fancy Free

Famous quotes containing the words fancy and/or free:

    “Whatever happens, every individual is a child of his time; so philosophy too is its own time apprehended in thoughts. It is just as absurd to fancy that a philosophy can transcend its contemporary world as it is to fancy that an individual can overleap his own age, jump over Rhodes.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    “In action, the English have the advantage enjoyed by free men always entitled to free discussion: of having a ready judgment on every question. We Germans, on the other hand, are always thinking. We think so much that we never form a judgment.”
    —Heinrich Heine (1797–1856)
