Conception Quotes

It is often said that experiments should be made without preconceived ideas. That is impossible. Not only would it make every experiment fruitless, but even if we wished to do so, it could not be done. Every man has his own conception of the world, and this he cannot so easily lay aside. We must, example, use language, and our language is necessarily steeped in preconceived ideas. Only they are unconscious preconceived ideas, which are a thousand times the most dangerous of all Picture Quote #1

This work should commence with the conception of man, and should describe the nature of the womb, and how the child inhabits it, and in what stage it dwells there, and the manner of its quickening and feeding, and its growth, and what interval there is between one stage of growth and another, and what thing drives it forth from the body of the mother, and for what reason it sometimes emerges from the belly of its mother before the due time Picture Quote #1

The moral problem of abortion is of a pre religious nature because the genetic code is written in a person at the moment of conception. A human being is there.

Not to allow the further development of a being which already has all the genetic code of a human being is not ethical. The right to life is the first among human rights. To abort a child is to kill someone who cannot defend himself Picture Quote #1

A child born today will grow up with no conception of privacy at all. They’ll never know what it means to have a private moment to themselves an unrecorded, unanalysed thought. And that’s a problem because privacy matters, privacy is what allows us to determine who we are and who we want to be Picture Quote #1

The conception that, instead of this, contemporary society is at or near a turning point is very prominent in the views of a school of social scientists who, though they are still comparatively few, are getting more and more of a hearing Picture Quote #1

The fact is that all writers create their precursors. Their work modifies our conception of the past, just as it is bound to modify the future Picture Quote #1

A system of morality which is based on relative emotional values is a mere illusion, a thoroughly vulgar conception which has nothing sound in it and nothing true Picture Quote #1

Eugenics, which had started long before my time, had once been defined as including free love and prevention of conception... Recently it had cropped up again in the form of selective breeding Picture Quote #1

Perfection is beyond our reach, but they who earnestly strive to become perfect, acquire excellences and virtues of which the multitude have no conception Picture Quote #1

Of what is’t fools make such vain keeping? Sin their conception, their birth, weeping: Their life, a general mist of error, their death, a hideous storm of terror Picture Quote #1

War is elevating, because the individual disappears before the great conception of the state... What a perversion of morality to wish to abolish heroism among men! Picture Quote #1

Chance is but a mere name, and really nothing in itself; a conception of our minds, and only a compendious way of speaking Picture Quote #1

Metaphorically, every vagina has secret teeth, for the male exits as less than when he entered. The basic mechanics of conception require action in the male but nothing more than passive receptivity in the female Picture Quote #1
