I think it means that people who are in love do not see the beloved's faults.\n\nFriends are aware of each other's faults, but overlook them.\n\n****\n\nNo, I do not think that if you can see the persons faults, but  overlook them, it means you do not love them.\n\nTrue love should contain elements of friendship, don't you agree?\n\nThe think the "blind" love is the intial infatuation. Mature love is different; wiser, deeper.

The quote is from Descartes' 'Discourse on Method'\n\nThe general idea is that he questions what he knows.  Assume that a grand deciever was capable of changing all you percieve (picture the Matrix etc, where something could make you see, smell etc things that aren't really there).   \n\nThe question is what can you trust.  The first assumption he makes is that no matter what 'reality' is,  the fact that he can consider his own existience, then he exists in some fashion.  'I think,  therefore I am'.  Even if he's decieved about everything,  he can trust that part. \n\nDescartes then goes on to prove the existence of god.   Quite an interesting book.

It means that the wording was changed.\n\nFor example, a statement  like: "They really like her attitude." If taken out of context would make no sense because you wouldn't know who "her" or "they are. So you could quote it as "[The board] really like [Mrs. Smith's] attitude."

what does it mean to you? it was a quote by Henry David Thoreau and has many meanings depending upon the person reading it. most literally, it means that the rail road depends upon us for it's existence. it rides on us, meaning our work and sweat are what it rides upon.

First, this quote makes fun of the fact that people see society as an entity, when in reality it is composed of, well, people. Keeping this in mind...\nTo make it easier I'll break-down this quote as follows;\n-quote\n-litteral meaning\n-metaphorical meaning\n\n"society everywhere is in concpiracy against the manhood of everyone of its members."\n-everyone everywhere is in conspiracy against their own qualities and attributes (conventionally thought to be appropriate to a man) especially physical strength, courage, and determination\n-it seams people are purposely forcing themselves to forget what strength, courage, and determination are all about\n\n"society is a joint-stock company" \n-this portion is meant litterally\n- society is made up of people that all influence it individually, just as a joint stock company is made up of shareholders that also influence it individually\n\n\n"in which the members agree"\n-in which the stock holders agree\n-people  agree,\n\n"for the better securing of his bread to each share holder"\n-for the better securing of the food of each share holder\n-that in order to better secure their income\n\n"to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater"\n-to compromise the freedom and character of themselves\n-they should compromise themselves as people.\n\nTo sum up, The true meaning of the quote is:\npeople are inadvertantly destroying themselves. It's as if people feel that to succeed finantialy they must compromise the very characteristics that make us superior beings.\n\nhope this helps  good luck
