Famous quotes containing the words worlds, frank and/or herbert:

    Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.
    Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)

    I have lifted the veil. I have created life, wrested the secret of life from life. Now do you understand? From the lives of those who have gone before, I have created life.
    Edward T. Lowe, and Frank Strayer. Dr. von Niemann (Lionel Atwill)

    Man is no starre, but a quick coal
    Of mortall fire:
    Who blows it not, nor doth controll
    A faint desire,
    Lets his own ashes choke his soul.
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)
