Famous quotes containing the words the novel, historical and/or figures:
“The novel is the highest form of human expression so far attained. Why? Because it is so incapable of the absolute.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.”
—Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
“I will stand on, and continue to use, the figures I have used, because I believe they are correct. Now, Im not going to deny that you dont now and then slip up on something; no one bats a thousand.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
