Famous quotes containing the words points of, points and/or interest:

    “Every man has to learn the points of the compass again as often as he awakes, whether from sleep or any abstraction.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox. Different points of view make sense, but only if there is a common co-ordinate system on which to plot them; yet the existence of a common system belies the claim of dramatic incomparability.”
    —Donald Davidson (b. 1917)

    “Where there is no exaggeration there is no love, and where there is no love there is no understanding. It is only about things that do not interest one, that one can give a really unbiased opinion; and this is no doubt the reason why an unbiased opinion is always valueless.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
