Famous quotes containing the words related and/or phenomena:
“So universal and widely related is any transcendent moral greatness, and so nearly identical with greatness everywhere and in every age,—as a pyramid contracts the nearer you approach its apex,—that, when I look over my commonplace-book of poetry, I find that the best of it is oftenest applicable, in part or wholly, to the case of Captain Brown.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
