George Santayana
-
A conception not reducible to the small change of daily experience is like a currency not exchangeable for articles of consumption it is not a symbol, but a fraud.
-
The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas.
-
Experience seems to most of us to lead to conclusions, but empiricism has sworn never to draw them.
-
The word experience is like a shrapnel shell, and bursts into a thousand meanings.
-
Parents lend children their experience and a vicarious memory children endow their parents with a vicarious immortality.
