Immortal Strand Hypothesis

Famous quotes containing the words immortal, strand and/or hypothesis:

    It is not their bones or hide or tallow that I love most. It is the living spirit of the tree, not its spirit of turpentine, with which I sympathize, and which heals my cuts. It is as immortal as I am, and perchance will go to as high a heaven, there to tower above me still.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    We all have reasons
    for moving.
    I move
    to keep things whole.
    —Mark Strand (b. 1934)

    It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.
    Konrad Lorenz (1903–1989)
