الصفحة 179 - Properly speaking, a man has as many social selves as there are individuals who recognize him and carry an image of him in their mind.
الصفحة 303 - If any man has the faculty of framing in his mind such an idea of a triangle as is here described, it is in vain to pretend to dispute him out of it, nor would I go about it. All I desire is, that the reader would fully and certainly inform himself whether he has such an idea or no.
الصفحة 280 - In short, the practically cognized present is no knife-edge, but a saddle-back, with a certain breadth of its own on which we sit perched, and from which we look in two directions into time.
الصفحة 160 - ... just been dislodged. And we may say that the main use of the transitive parts is to lead us from one substantive conclusion to another.
