        "Qu'y a-t-il dans un nom ? Ce que nous appelons rose,
      
    <br/>
      
        Par n'importe quel autre nom sentirait aussi bon."

        "Mais la condamnation des abstractions est la condamnation de la pensée elle-même. Tout ce 
        que la pensée est capable de concevoir ne sera jamais autre chose qu'une abstraction, qui 
        ne peut exister en isolation. tout ce que l'on peut mentionner est une abstraction sauf le 
        concret universel; et le concret universel est un mythe."

        "The concept, so defined, is precisely that abstraction which it is 
      
      
        <i>necessary</i>
      
      
         to make if we are to discover the basis of our common understanding of that reality which 
        we all know. On a day which is terribly long to me and abominably short to you, we meet, 
        by agreement, at three o'clock, and thus demonstrate that we have a world in common."

        "A more problematic example is the parallel between the increasingly abstract and 
        insubstantial picture of the physical universe which modern physics has given us and the 
        popularity of abstract and non-representational forms of art and poetry. In each case the 
        representation of reality is increasingly removed from the picture which is immediately 
        presented to us by our senses."
