Mental Capacity

Famous quotes containing the words mental and/or capacity:

“The deeply thoughtful and human consciousness of a Macbeth is not found in comedy. Comic action tends to be as Bergson described it, physical or purblind, instead of highly conscious. Similarly, the great comic actor specializes in the presentation of mental obtuseness.”

“Man’s capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man’s inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary.”
