Urali Quotes

I deeply believe in pluralism. I believe in the close proximity of multiple systems or agnostic systems Picture Quote #1

We have fallen into this very mean description of humanity. Naturalism in fiction is too reductive in its definition of human beings Picture Quote #1

The human mind, if it is to keep its sanity, must maintain the nicest balance between unity and plurality Picture Quote #1

Naturalism aimed at giving the primitive wishes full play but failed because these wishes are too primitive, too infantile, too inconsistent with themselves to be satisfied even by the greatest license Picture Quote #1

What should be targeted is a concept of organic, and not just mechanic, democracy that preserves the rule of law, separation of powers, and that is participatory and pluralistic Picture Quote #1

The naturalists of our own time hold equal faith in the wonders of the sea, but seek therein rather for the links of nature’s chain than for apparent exceptions Picture Quote #1

The former conviction that these two kingdoms were wholly different in structure, in function, and in kind of life, was not seriously disturbed by the difficulties which the naturalist encountered when he undertook to define them Picture Quote #1

It makes no difference whether a work is naturalistic or abstract; every visual expression follows the same fundamental laws Picture Quote #1

I am really not of the school of naturalism. I like style, and you can use more style in theater than in film roles. I love to sink my teeth into a part Picture Quote #1

Canada has for many years been a beacon to the rest of the world for its commitment to pluralism and for its support for the multicultural richness and diversity of its peoples Picture Quote #1

I’m not attracted to naturalism, I’m not attracted to behavior, I’m attracted to dance. I’m attracted to gesture, I’m attracted to singing with your voice, as opposed to having a natural manner. I’m a theater actor first, so that probably influences a lot of my approach. And I think in many ways, naturalism has ruined movies Picture Quote #1

I don’t bill myself as an atheist but as a naturalist. Naturalism is a belief system. A lot of scientists bristle at that. We all have to believe we can find the truth. Evidence is my guide. I rely on observation, experimentation and verification Picture Quote #1

A fossil is so powerful. It’s moving. This is my ancestor. The naturalist is moved by the fossil... not the cross Picture Quote #1

I’m trying to champion the naturalist’s worldview and show it’s not as heathen as most religious people would make it out to be Picture Quote #1

I don’t campaign for the end of the aristocracy or the upper classes; I don’t really want to destroy anything at all. I just want more plurality Picture Quote #1

Let us face a pluralistic world in which there are no universal churches, no single remedy for all diseases, no one way to teach or write or sing, no magic diet, no world poets, and no chosen races, but only the wretched and wonderfully diversified human race Picture Quote #1

To work effectively as an agent of change in a pluralistic society, it is necessary to be able to connect with people different from oneself Picture Quote #1

Science preceded the theory of science, and is independent of it. Science preceded naturalism, and will survive it Picture Quote #1

If the juices of the body were more chymically examined, especially by a naturalist, that knows the ways of making fixed bodies volatile, and volatile fixed, and knows the power of the open air in promoting the former of those operations; it is not improbable, that both many things relating to the nature of the humours, and to the ways of sweetening, actuating, and otherwise altering them, may be detected, and the importance of such discoveries may be discerned Picture Quote #1

If you believe in evolution and naturalism then you have a reason not to think your faculties are reliable Picture Quote #1

A social entrepreneur is somebody who knows how to make an idea reality, and one of the great ideas of our time is pluralism. Can people from different backgrounds live together in mutual peace and loyalty? And what we need is a generation of young social entrepreneurs who know how to make that great idea reality in an historical moment where religious extremists are, frankly, making their idea reality Picture Quote #1

Not only do we naturalize history, but also consequently we naturalize the social phenomena which express our oppression, making change impossible Picture Quote #1

Humanism involves far more than the negation of supernaturalism. It requires an affirmative philosophy... translated into a life devoted to one’s own improvement and the service of all mankind Picture Quote #1

To a naturalist nothing is indifferent; the humble moss that creeps upon the stone is equally interesting as the lofty pine which so beautifully adorns the valley or the mountain: but to a naturalist who is reading in the face of the rocks the annals of a former world, the mossy covering which obstructs his view, and renders indistinguishable the different species of stone, is no less than a serious subject of regret Picture Quote #1

Multiculturalism has seemed to imply, wrongly for me, let other cultures be allowed to express themselves but do not let the majority culture at all tell us its glories, its struggles, its joys, its pains Picture Quote #1

Multiculturalism is a good reminder that when standards are relative, there are no standards at all Picture Quote #1

We are all meant to be naturalists, each in his own degree, and it is inexcusable to live in a world so full of the marvels of plant and animal life and to care for none of these things Picture Quote #1

I thought about the meaning of pluralism in a world where the forces that seek to divide us are strong. I came to one conclusion: We have to save each other. It’s the only way to save ourselves Picture Quote #1

Empiricism in the sciences is a method; naturalism in philosophy is a metaphysics; and the latter neither follows from nor underlies the former Picture Quote #1

We are supernaturalists first, not naturalists. The only reason we feel compelled to accommodate science is that science says we ought to. But it is science that should accommodate revelation. Revelation has been around much longer Picture Quote #1
