Large Crystals

Famous quotes containing the words large and/or crystals:

    What large children we are
    here. All over I grow most tall
    in the best ward. Your business is people,
    you call at the madhouse, an oracular
    eye in our nest.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.
    Karl Popper (1902–1994)
