Famous quotes containing the words display and/or system:
“Nobody thanks a witty man for politeness when he accommodates himself to a society in which it is not polite to display wit.”

“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)
