Alfred North Whitehead Quotes About Values

Quotes about: Values

• Value is coextensive with reality.

  Alfred North Whitehead

  Reality, Values

• Great art is more than a transient refreshment. It is something which adds to the permanent richness of the soul's self-attainment. It justifies itself both by its immediate enjoyment, and also by its discipline of the inmost being. Its discipline is not distinct from enjoyment but by reason of it. It transforms the soul into the permanent realization of values extending beyond its former self.

  Alfred North Whitehead

  Art, Writing, Self

  Alfred North Whitehead

To-morrow science will have moved forward yet one more step, and there will be no appeal from the judgment which will then be pronounced on the uneducated.
