- G.K. Chesterton

- James Joyce

The silly question in the first intimation of some totally new development.
Alfred N. Whitehead

Fundamental progress has to do with the reinterpretation of basic ideas.
Alfred N. Whitehead

Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them.
A. N. Whitehead
