Additional quotes by George Santayana

The human race, in its intellectual life, is organized like the bees: the masculine soul is a worker, sexually atrophied, and essentially dedicated to impersonal and universal arts; the feminine is a queen, infinitely fertile, omnipresent in its brooding industry, but passive and abounding in intuitions without method and passions without justice.

Un om este liber din punct de vedere moral când [...] judecă lumea şi îi judecă pe ceilalţi oameni cu o sinceritate care nu face compromisuri.
