The Coexistence of Quality and Quantity
All things have a quality and a quantity—there cannot be a quality without a quantity, and a quantity without a quality. This means that there cannot be a good economy (quantity) without an equally good culture (quality); there cannot be material progress (quantity) without an equivalent amount of intellectual progress (quality). While quantity is empirical (objective) and measurable (in most cases), quality is often abstract (subjective) and its measurement is a controversial subject, because it can be influenced by the taste, sensibility, and the philosophical, political, and aesthetic opinions of the people who do the measuring.
