Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “Who is this Renaissance? Where did he come from? Who gave him permission to cram the Republic with his execrable daubs?”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
