“Each individual is a cosmos of organs, each organ is a cosmos of cells, each cell is a cosmos of infinitely small ones; and in this complex world, the well-being of the whole depends entirely on the sum of well-being enjoyed by each of the least microscopic particles of organized matter. A whole revolution is thus produced in the philosophy of life.” WorldWellsMatterPhilosophyWholeIndividualLife PhilosophyRevolutionDependsComplexesCellsEnjoyedWell BeingOrganizedCosmosOrgansParticles Book:Anarchism: A Collection of Revolutionary Writings Source: Anarchism: A Collection of Revolutionary Writings
“An imbecile habit has arisen in modern controversy of saying that such and such a creed can be held in one age but cannot be held in another. Some dogma, we are told, was credible in the twelfth century, but is not credible in the twentieth. You might as well say that a certain philosophy can be believed on Mondays, but cannot be believed on Tuesdays. You might as well say of a view of the cosmos that it was suitable to half-past three, but not suitable to half-past four. What a man can believe depends upon his philosophy, not upon the clock or the century.” MenBelieveWellsPhilosophyMightAgePastCertainThreeViewsHalfFourModernCenturyDependsHabitClockCosmosCreedsDogmaMondayControversySuitableTuesdayCredibleImbeciles Book:The Essential Gilbert K.

“I think a scientist's job is to explore the Universe, to explore the cosmos around us. People always want to know - why is that useful? Well, on just pure fundamental grounds, on some level it's like art, it's like umm, music, it's aesthetics, it's like philosophy. You want to know where you are in the Universe.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantWellsArtPhilosophyJobsUniverseLevelsPureScientistFundamentalsCosmosWhere You AreAesthetics Author:Brian Schmidt
