Famous quotes containing the words strings and/or unlimited:
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
“I only wish that ordinary people had an unlimited capacity for doing harm; then they might have an unlimited power for doing good.”
—Socrates (469–399 B.C.)
