Famous quotes containing the words discovery and/or commerce:
“The new supplants the old. Yet men’s minds are stuffed with outworn bunk. Educating the young in the latest findings of authorities and scholars in the social sciences is important.

to the awful subway of the world....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
