Famous quotes containing the words real and/or abstraction:
“The old parties are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of incongruous elements, and neither daring to speak out wisely and fearlessly on what should be said on the vital issues of the day.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
“By “object” is meant some element in the complex whole that is defined in abstraction from the whole of which it is a distinction.”
