As long as the centuries continue to unfold, the number of books will grow continually, and one can predict that a time will come when it will be almost as difficult to learn anything from books as from the direct study of the whole universe. It will be almost as convenient to search for some bit of truth concealed in nature as it will be to find it hidden away in an immense multitude of bound volumes (Centuries Quotes)
In other centuries, human beings wanted to be saved, or improved, or freed, or educated. But in our century, they want to be entertained. The great fear is not of disease or death, but of boredom. A sense of time on our hands, a sense of nothing to do. A sense that we are not amused (Centuries Quotes)
Science is an attempt, largely successful, to understand the world, to get a grip on things, to get hold of ourselves, to steer a safe course. Microbiology and meteorology now explain what only a few centuries ago was considered sufficient cause to burn women to death (Centuries Quotes)
Alexia had spent long hours wondering over that mustache. Werewolves did not grow hair, as they did not age. Where had it come from? Had he always had it? For how many centuries had his poor abused upper lip labored under the burden of such vegetation? (Centuries Quotes)
And if there is anybody out there who is crazy enough to want to become a writer, I’d say go ahead, spit in the eye of the sun, hit those keys, it’s the best madness going, the centuries need help, the species cry for light and gamble and laughter. Give it to them. There are enough words for all of us (Centuries Quotes)
I think we crushed ourselves down over the centuries. Buried ourselves under greed and hate and whatever other sins we could find until our souls finally hit the rock bottom of the universe. And then they scraped a hole through it, into some... darker place (Centuries Quotes)
Reason must approach nature with the view, indeed, of receiving information from it, not, however, in the character of a pupil, who listens to all that his master chooses to tell him, but in that of a judge, who compels the witnesses to reply to those questions which he himself thinks fit to propose. To this single idea must the revolution be ascribed, by which, after groping in the dark for so many centuries, natural science was at length conducted into the path of certain progress (Centuries Quotes)
I think a man can keep on drinking for centuries, he’ll never die; especially wine or beer... I like drunkards, man, because drunkards, they come out of it, and they’re sick and they spring back, they spring back and forth... If I hadn’t been a drunkard, I probably would have committed suicide long ago (Centuries Quotes)
For unnumbered centuries of human history the wilderness has given way. The priority of industry has become dogma. Are we as yet sufficiently enlightened to realize that we must now challenge that dogma, or do without our wilderness? Do we realize that industry, which has been our good servant, might make a poor master? (Centuries Quotes)
I firmly believe, that before many centuries more, science will be the master of man. The engines he will have invented will be beyond his strength to control. Someday, science shall have the existence of mankind in its power, and the human race commit suicide by blowing up the world (Centuries Quotes)
Turn off your radio. Put away your daily paper. Read one review of events a week and spend some time reading good books. They tell too of days of striving and of strife. They are of other centuries and also of our own. They make us realize that all times are perilous, that men live in a dangerous world, in peril constantly of losing or maiming soul and body. We get some sense of perspective reading such books. Renewed courage and faith and even joy to live (Centuries Quotes)
The body of economic knowledge is an essential element in the structure of human civilization; it is the foundation upon which modern industrialism and all the moral, intellectual, technological, and therapeutical achievements of the last centuries have been built (Centuries Quotes)
Defenders of the status quo will argue that this system has served us well over the centuries, that our parliamentary traditions have combined stability and flexibility and that we should not cast away in a minute what has taken generations to build (Centuries Quotes)
Two world wars have destroyed in a few years the material and spiritual capital accumulated by centuries of work. The nineteenth century had hoped to turn man, by virtue of education, into a reasoning being: a half century of ferocity has proved that a cruel, primitive beast still resides in him (Centuries Quotes)
The law embodies the story of a nation’s development through many centuries, and it cannot be dealt with as if it contained only the axioms and corollaries of a book of mathematics (Centuries Quotes)
Instead of trying to educate the human race, they should imitate the pedagogues of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, who concentrated their efforts on the education of a single person (Centuries Quotes)
It is striking how much more seriously we are likely to be taken after we have been dead a few centuries (Centuries Quotes)
A prolonged and massive increase in aggregate wealth per capita has taken place over several centuries (Centuries Quotes)
Making mistakes in centuries and generations past would have consequences that we could overcome. We don’t have that luxury anymore (Centuries Quotes)
After a few more centuries, perhaps the poorest billion will even be able to afford the $10. 00 buffet (Centuries Quotes)
Soldiers, think of it, from the summit of these pyramids, forty centuries look down upon you (Centuries Quotes)
Only a fool would try to compress a hundred centuries into a hundred pages of hazardous conclusions. We proceed (Centuries Quotes)
At the bottom there is no perfect history; there is none such conceivable. All past centuries have rotted down, and gone confusedly dumb and quiet (Centuries Quotes)
No man stands alone. Through all the centuries of recorded time, men have set into motion influences that affect your life today (Centuries Quotes)
Direct thought is not an attribute of feminity. In this, women are now centuries behind man (Centuries Quotes)
It is the chief value of legend to mix up the centuries while preserving the sentiment (Centuries Quotes)
One aspect of this is the way we have come during recent centuries to appreciate that the world and indeed the very universe in which we live have evolved over immense periods of time (Centuries Quotes)
Freedom was the desire of our people throughout centuries. Freedom enabled our people to be owners of their destiny (Centuries Quotes)
Ever since Adam’s day, the divine law of the Sabbath has been emphasized repeatedly over the centuries more than any other commandment. This long emphasis alone is an indication of its importance (Centuries Quotes)
Never tell a young person that anything cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing (Centuries Quotes)
