The seeds of civilization are in every culture, but it is city life that brings them to fruition.

Philosophical Sketches (1962)

Philosophizing is a process of making sense out of experience, rather than adding to experience itself, as factual learning and experimental investigation do.

Philosophical Sketches (1962)
