“Tragedy is an imitation of a whole and complete action of some amplitude. . . . Now a whole is that which has a beginning, a middle, and an end.”
Aristotle
“The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.”
Albert Einstein
“Of mankind in general, the parts are greater than the whole”
“I cannot concentrate all my friendship on any single one of my friends because no one is complete enough in himself”
Anais Nin
“That's why people listen to music or look at paintings. To get in touch with that wholeness.”
Corita Kent
“A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
“I would rather have a word of encouragement from a friend while i am here...than a whole truckload while i am gone.”
Nerrymiah Scipio
