Max Weber
Every type of purely direct concrete description bears the mark of artistic portrayal.
Max Weber
However many people complain about the red tape, it would be sheer illusion to think ... continuous administrative work can be carried out in any field except by means of officials working in offices.... The choice is only that between bureaucracy and dillettantism.
Max Weber
Culture' is a finite segment of the meaningless infinity of the world process, a segment on which human beings confer meaning and significance.

Nothing is worthy of man as man unless he can pursue it with passionate devotion.
Max Weber
