Famous quotes containing the words points of, points and/or interest:

    “The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox. Different points of view make sense, but only if there is a common co-ordinate system on which to plot them; yet the existence of a common system belies the claim of dramatic incomparability.”
    —Donald Davidson (b. 1917)

    “Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “Those people have no real interest in a science who only begin to get excited about it when they themselves have made discoveries in it.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
