Midgley Quotes
'We want incompatible things, and we want them badly. We are fairly aggressive, yet we want company and depend on long-term enterprises. We are restlessly curious, yet long for permanence. We cannot live without a culture, but it never quite satisfied us'
“Common standards, common ideals, common tastes, common priorities that make a common morality possible, rest on shared joys and sorrows & all require active sympathy” ❤️🩹
