Quote by George Berkeley

Truth is the cry of all, but the game of few.

Truth is the cry of all, but the game of few.

Summary

This quote suggests that although everyone claims to seek and value truth, only a select few are truly committed to it. Many people may talk about truth, demand it, or proclaim they possess it, but when it comes to actually living by it, only a small number of individuals are engaged in the pursuit of absolute honesty and authenticity. It highlights the discrepancy between the idealized desire for truth and the practical effort required to uncover and embrace it, revealing that for most people, truth becomes more of a game or a tool rather than an unwavering principle to live by.

There are two principles inherent in the very nature of things, recurring in some particular embodiments whatever field we explore - the spirit of change, and the spirit of conservation. There can be nothing real without both. Mere change without conservation is a passage from nothing to nothing. . . . Mere conservation without change cannot conserve. For after all, there is a flux of circumstance, and the freshness of being evaporates under mere repetition.

Imagine it's 1981. You're an artist, in love with art, smitten with art history. You're also a woman, with almost no mentors to look to art history just isn't that into you. Any woman approaching art history in the early eighties was attempting to enter an almost foreign country, a restricted and exclusionary domain that spoke a private language.
