FRANK RAMSEY ON MAN.
FRANK RAMSEY ON MAN. Frank Ramsey expressed my feelings about our lives and about literature which deals with the trivialities of human life. “Where I seem to differ from my friends is in attaching little importance to physical size. I don’t feel in the least humble before the vastness of the heavens. The stars may be large, but they cannot think or love; and these are qualities which impress me far more than size does. I take no credit for weighing nearly seventeen stone. My picture of the world is drawn in perspective, and not like a model to scale. The foreground is occupied by human beings and the stars are all as small as threepenny bits.”
