Quotes about Her
"We want to see things now, as they will seem forever - 'in the light of eternity', to know that the little things are little and the big things are big."
"All knowledge begins as philosophy and ends as art. It arises in hypothesis and flows into achievement."
"Analysis belongs to science, and gives us knowledge; philosophy must provide a synthesis of wisdom. Science tells how how to heal and how to kill, it reduces the death rate in retail and then kills us wholesale in war; but only wisdom - desire coordinated in the light of all knowledge - can tell us when to heal and when to kill."
"Science seems always to advance, while philosophy seems always to lose ground. That is because philosphy accepts the task of dealing with problems not yet open to the methods of science - problems like good and evil, beauty and ugliness, order and freedom, life and death. She leaves behind fields of knowledge susceptible to exact formulation to her daughters the sciences, and herself passes on, discontent, to the uncertain and unexplored."
