Famous quotes containing the word concepts:

    “When you have broken the reality into concepts you never can reconstruct it in its wholeness.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “During our twenties...we act toward the new adulthood the way sociologists tell us new waves of immigrants acted on becoming Americans: we adopt the host culture’s values in an exaggerated and rigid fashion until we can rethink them and make them our own. Our idea of what adults are and what we’re supposed to be is composed of outdated childhood concepts brought forward.”
    —Roger Gould (20th century)

    “Germany collapsed as a result of having engaged in a struggle for empire with the concepts of provincial politics.”
    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)
