Grounded

Famous quotes containing the word grounded:

“There is not a single rule, however plausible, and however firmly grounded in epistemology, that is not violated at some time or other. It becomes evident that such violations are not accidental events, they are not results of insufficient knowledge or of inattention which might have been avoided. On the contrary, we see that they are necessary for progress.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)

“It is impossible to say all that we think, even to our truest Friend. We may bid him farewell forever sooner than complain, for our complaint is too well grounded to be uttered.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Sometimes the only way to become grounded is to hit bottom.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
