Famous quotes containing the words physical, memory and/or limits:
“Man’s characteristic privilege is that the bond he accepts is not physical but moral; that is, social. He is governed not by a material environment brutally imposed on him, but by a conscience superior to his own, the superiority of which he feels. Because the greater, better part of his existence transcends the body, he escapes the body’s yoke, but is subject to that of society.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
““I have done it,” says my memory. “I cannot have done it,” says my pride, refusing to budge. In the end—my memory yields.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
