Alfred North Whitehead
  • True courage is not the brutal force of vulgar heroes, but the firm resolve of virtue and reason.

  • Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance, is the death of knowledge.

  • An enormous part of our mature experience cannot not be expressed in words.

  • Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.

  • It is the business of the future to be dangerous and it is among the merits of science that it equips the future for its duties.
