Famous quotes containing the word aim:
“Don’t you see what’s at stake here? The ultimate aim of all science—to penetrate the unknown. Do you realize we know less about the earth we live on than about the stars and the galaxies of outer space? The greatest mystery is right here, right under our feet.”
—Walter Reisch (1903–1963)
“What is your aim in philosophy?—To shew the fly the way out of the fly-bottle.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“Whenever a human being, through the commission of a crime, has become exiled from good, he needs to be reintegrated with it through suffering. The suffering should be inflicted with the aim of bringing the soul to recognize freely some day that its infliction was just.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
