Arthur Stanley Eddington
“The more perfect the instrument as a measurer of time, the more completely does it conceal time's arrow.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington, The Nature of the Physical World

Giorgio Vasari
“These rough sketches, which are born in an instant in the heat of inspiration, express the idea of their author in a few strokes, while on the other hand too much effort and diligence sometimes saps the vitality and powers of those who never know when to leave off.”
Giorgio Vasari

John Dewey
“An intelligent home differs from an unintelligent one chiefly in that the habits of life and intercourse which prevail are chosen, or at least colored, by the thought of their bearing upon the development of children.”
John Dewey, Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education

Arthur Stanley Eddington
“When we analyse the picture into a large number of particles of paint, we lose the aesthetic significance of the picture. The particles of paint go into the scientific inventory, and it is claimed that everything that there really was in the picture is kept. But this way of keeping a thing may be much the same as losing it. The essence of a picture (as distinct from the paint) is arrangement.”
Arthur Stanley Eddington, The Nature of the Physical World

“Nowadays a long Romantic tradition has caused us to think of poets as private dreamers, ill-adapted to social intercourse and the horrors of a materialist world but thereby guardians of value and the messengers of our common soul. In 1711 François senior would have viewed a young poet as a modern parent might view an aspirant television celebrity.”
Roger Pearson, Voltaire Almighty
