William James, "Essays in Radical Empiricism" (1912):
"Mental knives may be sharp, but they won't cut real wood.
Mental triangles are pointed, but their points won't
wound. With 'real' objects, on the contrary, consequences
always accrue... "

I feel it rising now...
... like little bubbles...
THE MOON IS FULL...

Donald Knuth, "Computer programming as an art", CACM, December 1974:
"In this connection it is most important for us all
to remember that there is no one 'best' style; everybody
has his own preferences, and it is a mistake to try to force
people into an unnatural mold. ... The important thing is
that you really *like* the style you are using; it should be
the best way you prefer to express yourself."

From Aristotle's "Categories", the first book of The Organon
(trans. Harold P. Cook):
"When genera are co-ordinate and different, differentiae will
differ in kind. Take the genera, animal and knowledge.
'Footed', 'two-footed', 'winged', 'aquatic' are among the
differentiae of animal. But none will be found to distinguish a
particular species of knowledge. No species of knowledge will
differ from another in being 'two-footed'."

Christopher Marlowe, "Doctor Faustus" (~1588)
"Learned Faustus, To know the secrets of astronomy
Graven in the book of Jove's high-firmanent,
Did mount himself to scale Olympus' top.
Being seated in a chariot burning bright
Drawn by the strength of yoked dragons necks
He views the clouds, the planets, and the stars,
The tropic zones and quarters of the sky"

Juanita Nelson, "A Matter of Freedom" from
"Seeds of Liberation" (1964) edited by Paul Goodman:
"How could I presume to have so much of the truth that I
would defy constituted authority? What made me so
certain of myself in this regard? I was not certain.
But it seemed to me that if I should see only one thing
clearly, it was not necessary to see all things clearly
in order to act on the one thing."

Leo Tolstoy, "Anna Karenina":
"After wavering for some time between various kinds of
art-- religious, historical, genre or realistic-- he
began to paint. He understood all the different kinds
and was able to draw inspiration from all, but he could
not imagine that it is possible to be quite ignorant of
the different kinds of art and to be inspired directly
by what is in one's own soul, regardless of whether what
one paints belongs to any particular school."
