Potentiality State

Famous quotes containing the words potentiality and/or state:

    Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.
    Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)

    Anything goes in Wichita. Leave your revolvers at police headquarters and get a check.
    —For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
