Famous quotes containing the words world, schools and/or debating:

    The greatest impediments to changes in our traditional roles seem to lie not in the visible world of conscious intent, but in the murky realm of the unconscious mind.
    Augustus Y. Napier (20th century)

    Absolute catholicity of taste is not without its dangers. It is only an auctioneer who should admire all schools of art.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Scepticism, as I said, is not intellectual only; it is moral also; a chronic atrophy and disease of the whole soul. A man lives by believing something; not by debating and arguing about many things. A sad case for him when all that he can manage to believe is something he can button in his pocket, and with one or the other organ eat and digest! Lower than that he will not get.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
