Systems Inquiry

Famous quotes containing the words systems and/or inquiry:

“The only people who treasure systems are those whom the whole truth evades, who want to catch it by the tail. A system is just like truth’s tail, but the truth is like a lizard. It will leave the tail in your hand and escape; it knows that it will soon grow another tail.”
—Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

“Trial. A formal inquiry designed to prove and put upon record the blameless characters of judges, advocates and jurors.”
