The guiding motto in the life...

The guiding motto in the life of every natural philosopher should be, seek simplicity and distrust it.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our most secret self.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Intelligence is quickness to ...

Intelligence is quickness to apprehend as distinct from ability, which is capacity to act wisely on the thing apprehended.

It is in literature that the concrete outlook of humanity receives its expression.

It requires a very unusual mind to undertake the analysis of the obvious.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

But you can catch yourself en...

But you can catch yourself entertaining habitually certain ideas and setting others aside; and that, I think, is where our personal destinies are largely decided.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Every philosophy is tinged wi...

Every philosophy is tinged with the coloring of some secret imaginative background, which never emerges explicitly into its train of reasoning.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The only justification in the use of force is to reduce the amount of force necessary to be used.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The oneness of the universe, ...

The oneness of the universe, and the oneness of each element of the universe, repeat themselves to the crack of doom in the creative advance from creature to creature, each creature including in itself the whole of history and exemplifying the self-identity of things and their mutual diversities.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The future belongs to those who can rise above the confines of the earth.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

In a certain sense, everythin...

In a certain sense, everything is everywhere at all times. For every location involves an aspect of itself in every other location. Thus every spatio-temporal standpoint mirrors the world

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Ninety percent of our lives i...

Ninety percent of our lives is governed by emotion. Our brains merely register and act upon what is telegraphed to them by our bodily experience. Intellect is to emotion as our clothes are to our bodies; we could not very well have civilized life without clothes, but we would be in a poor way if we had only clothes without bodies.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

In a sense, knowledge shrinks...

In a sense, knowledge shrinks as wisdom grows, for details are swallowed up in principles. The details for knowledge which are important, will be picked up ad hoc in each avocation of life, but the habit of the active utilization of well-understood principles is the final possession of WISDOM.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Great art is more than a tran...

Great art is more than a transient refreshment. It is something which adds to the permanent richness of the soul's self-attainment. It justifies itself both by its immediate enjoyment, and also by its discipline of the inmost being. Its discipline is not distinct from enjoyment but by reason of it. It transforms the soul into the permanent realization of values extending beyond its former self.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

After you understand about th...

After you understand about the sun and the stars and the rotation of the earth, you may still miss the radiance of the sunset.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

It is not paradox to say that...

It is not paradox to say that in our most theoretical moods we may be nearest to our most practical applications.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The misconception which has h...

The misconception which has haunted philosophic literature throughout the centuries is the notion of 'independent existence.' There is no such mode of existence; every entity is to be understood in terms of the way it is interwoven with the rest of the universe.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

There are no whole truths: Al...

There are no whole truths: All truths are half-truths.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

The worship of God is not a r...

The worship of God is not a rule of safety - it is an adventure of the spirit, a flight after the unattainable.

Alfred North Whitehead 401 quotes

Symbolism is no mere idle fan...

Symbolism is no mere idle fancy or corrupt degeneration: it is inherent in the very texture of human life.
