Side Effects

Famous quotes containing the words side and/or effects:

    Playing alone, I found the wall.
    One side was gray, the other an indelible gray.
    The two sides were separated by a third,
    Or spirit wall, a coarser gray.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Virtues are not emotions. Emotions are movements of appetite, virtues dispositions of appetite towards movement. Moreover emotions can be good or bad, reasonable or unreasonable; whereas virtues dispose us only to good. Emotions arise in the appetite and are brought into conformity with reason; virtues are effects of reason achieving themselves in reasonable movements of the appetites. Balanced emotions are virtue’s effect, not its substance.
    Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
