Famous quotes containing the words bias, increases and/or age:

    The solar system has no anxiety about its reputation, and the credit of truth and honesty is as safe; nor have I any fear that a skeptical bias can be given by leaning hard on the sides of fate, of practical power, or of trade, which the doctrine of Faith cannot down-weigh.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    But the desire of knowledge, like the thirst of riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it....
    ——Endless is the Search of Truth!
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    Then let yourself love all that you take delight in
    Accept yourself whole, accept the heritage
    That shaped you and is passed on from age to age
    Down to your entity. Remain mysterious;
    Rather than be pure, accept yourself as numerous.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
