Usage examples for Grosser

Famous quotes with Grosser

• The true artist doesn't substitute immorality for morality. On the contrary, he always substitutes a finer morality for a grosser one.

  David Herbert Lawrence
• Morality, taken as apart from religion, is but another name for decency in sin. It is just that negative species of virtue which consists in not doing what is scandalously depraved and wicked. But there is no heart of holy principle in it, any more than there is in the grosser sin.

  Horace Bushnell
• I have no need of your God-damned sympathy. I only wish to be entertained by some of your grosser reminiscences.

  Alexander Woollcott
• The frontier of the higher life is everywhere contiguous to the common life, and we can cross the border at any moment. The higher life is as real as the grosser things in which we put our trust. But our eyes must be anointed so that we may see it.

  Felix Adler
• It is important to realize that the exercise of any skill depends on the ability to create an abstract system of some kind out of the totality of the world around us. For instance, the carpenter is not interested in wood as a biological or chemical entity. He is sensitive to many of its grosser physical properties but not to many subtler ones. The wood of a carpenter is not the real — that is, the complete substance — but merely wood as a material on which the carpenter can exercise his skill.

  Kenneth Boulding
