Famous quotes containing the words rejection and/or metaphysics:

    “The crime of book purging is that it involves a rejection of the word. For the word is never absolute truth, but only man’s frail and human effort to approach the truth. To reject the word is to reject the human search.”
    —Max Lerner (b. 1902)

    “To regard the imagination as metaphysics is to think of it as part of life, and to think of it as part of life is to realize the extent of artifice. We live in the mind.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
