Famous quotes containing the words peter and/or golding:
“No philosopher understands his predecessors until he has re-thought their thought in his own contemporary terms.”
—Sir Peter Frederick Strawson (b. 1919)
“It was at a particular moment in the history of my own rages that I saw the Western world conditioned by the images of Marx, Darwin and Freud; and Marx, Darwin and Freud are the three most crashing bores of the Western world. The simplistic popularization of their ideas has thrust our world into a mental straitjacket from which we can only escape by the most anarchic violence.”
—William Golding (b. 1911)
