“We accepted a definition of ourselves which confined the self to the source and to the limitations of conscious attention. This definition is miserably insufficient, for in fact we know how to grow brains and eyes, ears and fingers, hearts and bones, in just the same way that we know how to walk and breathe, talk and think - only we can't put it into words. Words are too slow and too clumsy for describing such things, and conscious attention is too narrow for keeping track of all their details.” ThinkingKnowsWayHeartSelfFactsEyeGrowsWalksAttentionBrainKnow HowSourceConsciousEarsFingersTrackDefinitionsDetailsBonesBreatheAcceptedLimitationConfinedDescribingClumsyInsufficient Author:Alan Watts

“A … difference between most system-building in the social sciences and systems of thought and classification of the natural sciences is to be seen in their evolution. In the natural sciences both theories and descriptive systems grow by adaptation to the increasing knowledge and experience of the scientists. In the social sciences, systems often issue fully formed from the mind of one man. Then they may be much discussed if they attract attention, but progressive adaptive modification as a result of the concerted efforts of great numbers of men is rare.” IfsMenMindMaySocialGrowsNaturalDifferencesResultsNumbersEffortAttentionKnowledgeIssuesBuildingTheoryEvolutionScientistOne ManProgressiveAdaptationSocial ScienceNatural ScienceClassificationModificationKnowledge And ExperienceAdaptiveIncreasing Knowledge Author:Lawrence Joseph Henderson
“Women of fashion and character--I do not mean absolutely unblemished--are a necessary ingredient in the composition of good company; the attention which they require, and which is always paid them by well-bred men, keeps up politeness, and gives a habit of good-breeding; whereas men, when they live together without the lenitive of women in company, are apt to grow careless, negligent, and rough among one another.” MenGivingWellsMeanCharacterTogetherGrowsAttentionCompanyFashionHabitMen And WomenPaidRoughIngredientsCompositionCarelessPolitenessBreedingGood CompanyGood Breeding Author:Lord Chesterfield
