Famous quotes containing the words field and/or weakening:
“Hardly a book of human worth, be it heavens own secret, is honestly placed before the reader; it is either shunned, given a Periclean funeral oration in a hundred and fifty words, or interred in the potters field of the newspapers back pages.”
—Edward Dahlberg (19001977)
“What is wantedwhether this is admitted or notis nothing less than a fundamental remolding, indeed weakening and abolition of the individual: one never tires of enumerating and indicting all that is evil and inimical, prodigal, costly, extravagant in the form individual existence has assumed hitherto, one hopes to manage more cheaply, more safely, more equitably, more uniformly if there exist only large bodies and their members.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
