“It is as the father of the Encyclopedia that Denis Diderot merits eternal recognition. Guilty as he was in almost every relation of life towards the individual, for mankind, in the teeth of danger and of infidelity, at the ill-paid sacrifice of the best years of his exuberant life, he produced that book which first levelled a free path to knowledge and enfranchised the soul of his generation.” YearsFirstsBookSoulFatherIndividualPathGenerationsSacrificeMankindDangerEternalRelationPaidIllTeethGuiltyRecognitionMeritInfidelityBest YearEncyclopedia Author:Evelyn Beatrice Hall

“... geometry became a symbol for human relations, except that it was better, because in geometry things never go bad. If certain things occur, if certain lines meet, an angle is born. You cannot fail. It's not going to fail; it is eternal. I found in rules of mathematics a peace and a trust that I could not place in human beings. This sublimation was total and remained total. Thus, I'm able to avoid or manipulate or process pain.” IfsHumansAblePainCertainFoundProcessBornLinesHuman BeingsFailingEternalRelationMathematicsSymbolsAngleManipulateGeometryHuman Relations Author:Louise Bourgeois

“What do they know-all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world - about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated.

“What is the use of living, if it be not to strive for noble causes and to make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we are gone? How else can we put ourselves in harmonious relation with the great verities and consolations of the infinite and the eternal? And I avow my faith that we are marching towards better days.

“There can be no real conflict between the two Books of the Great Author. Both are revelations made by Him to man,-the earlier telling of God-made harmonies coming up from the deep past, and rising to their height when man appeared, the later teaching man's relations to his Maker, and speaking of loftier harmonies in the eternal future.” MenMadeTwoBookRealPastScienceTeachingFutureConflictEternalRelationHarmonyHeightRisingRevelationsMakersGreat Author Book:Manual of Geology: Treating of the Principles of the Science with Special Reference to American Geological History Source: Manual of Geology: Treating of the Principles of the Science with Special Reference to American Geological History
