Life is an offensive, directed against the repetitious mechanism of the Universe.
Alfred North WhiteheadLife is complex in its expression, involving more than percipience, namely desire, emotion, will, and feeling.
Alfred North WhiteheadThe guiding motto in the life of every natural philosopher should be, seek simplicity and distrust it.
Alfred North WhiteheadFor successful education there must always be a certain freshness in the knowledge dealt with. It must be either new in itself or invested with some novelty of application to the new world of new times. Knowledge does not keep any better than fish. You may be dealing with knowledge of the old species, with some old truth; but somehow it must come to the students, as it were, just drawn out of the sea and with the freshness of its immediate importance.
