Explicit Quotations
Frank and explicit - that is the right line to take when you wish to conceal your own mind and confuse the minds of others. Benjamin Disraeli Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation. Walt Disney What is grand is necessarily obscure to weak men. That which can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care. William Blake When we come to images or memories or thoughts, speculation, while always closely related to practice, is more explicit, and it is in fact not immediately obvious that such processes can be described in any sense as practical. Samuel Alexander The world is... the natural setting of, and field for, all my thoughts and all my explicit perceptions. Truth does not inhabit only the inner man, or more accurately, there is no inner man, man is in the world, and only in the world does he know himself. Maurice Merleau-Ponty |
