Essentially these same three doctrines reappear in twentieth-century surveys of the philosophy of mathematics under the new names logicism, intuitionism, and formalism.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “Every known fact in natural science was divined by the presentiment of somebody, before it was actually verified.”
