Babel Quotations
If it had been possible to build the Tower of Babel without climbing it, it would have been permitted. Franz Kafka There are the further difficulties of building a population out of a diversity of races, each at a different stage of cultural evolution, some in need of restraint, many in need of protection; everywhere a bewildering Babel of tongues. Arthur Keith As a system of philosophy it is not like the Tower of Babel, so daring its high aim as to seek a shelter against God's anger; but it is like a pyramid poised on its apex. Adam Sedgwick |
