Famous quotes containing the words higher level, higher, level and/or functioning:

    Nature uses human imagination to lift her work of creation to even higher levels.
    Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936)

    The poor tread lightest on the earth. The higher our income, the more resources we control and the more havoc we wreak.
    Paul Harrison (b. 1936)

    Why level downward to our dullest perception always, and praise that as common sense? The commonest sense is the sense of men asleep, which they express by snoring.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Wisdom is not just knowing fundamental truths, if these are unconnected with the guidance of life or with a perspective on its meaning. If the deep truths physicists describe about the origin and functioning of the universe have little practical import and do not change our picture of the meaning of the universe and our place within it, then knowing them would not count as wisdom.
    Robert Nozick (b. 1938)
