More From George Santayana

The ideas of primary qualities of bodies, are resemblances of them, and their patterns do really exist in the bodies themselves; but the ideas, produced in us by these secondary qualities, have no resemblance of them at all. there is nothing like our ideas, existing in the bodies themselves. they are in bodies, we denominate from them, only a power to produce those sensations in us: and what is sweet, blue or warm in idea, is but the certain bulk, figure, and motion of the insensible parts in the bodies themselves, which we call so.
Sweet Science Blue
Are not gross bodies and light convertible into one another; and may not bodies receive much of their activity from the particles of light which enter into their composition? the changing of bodies into light, and light into bodies, is very conformable to the course of nature, which seems delighted with transmutations.
Light Body May
Doth not this Æthereal medium in passing out of water, glass, crystal, and other compact and dense bodies into empty spaces, grow denser and denser by degrees, and by that means refract the rays of light not in a point, but by bending them gradually in curve lines? and doth not the gradual condensation of this medium extend to some distance from the bodies, and thereby cause the inflexions of the rays of light, which pass by the edges of dense bodies, at some distance from the bodies?
Distance Mean Space
Not bodies produce sensations, but element-complexes (sensation-complexes) constitute the bodies. when the physicist considers the bodies as the permanent reality, the 'elements' as the transient appearance, he does not realise that all 'bodies' are only mental symbols for element-complexes (sensation-complexes).
Reality Doe Elements
Are we our bodies? is a small person less than a big person, then? if we were our bodies, then when we lost an arm, or a leg, would we be less, would we begin to fade from existence? no. we are the same person. we are not our bodies; we are our thoughts. as they form, they define who we are, and create the reality of our existence.

The most important thing in this world is liberty. more important than food or clothes - more important than gold or houses or lands - more important than art or science - more important than all religions, is the liberty of man.
