John Dewey: “Symbols control sentiment and thought, and the new age has no symbols consonant with its activities.”

If the technological age can provide mankind with a firm and general basis of material security, it will be absorbed in a humane age.

Publication is partial and the public which results is partially informed and formed until the meanings it purveys pass from mouth to mouth.

We lie, as Emerson said, in the lap of an immense intelligence.
