Σελίδα 178 - Social progress means a checking of the cosmic process at every step and the substitution for it of another, which may be called the ethical process; the end of which is not the survival of those who may happen to be the fittest, in respect of the whole of the conditions which obtain, but of those who are ethically the best.
Σελίδα 171 - The chessboard is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature.
Σελίδα 434 - Barrenness of the Imaginative Faculty in the productions of Modern Art...

Σελίδα 179 - As l have already urged, the practice of that which is ethically best — what we call goodness or virtue — involves a course of conduct which, in all respects, is opposed to that which leads to success in the cosmic struggle for existence.
