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

    “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)

    “He is the best sailor who can steer within the fewest points of the wind, and extract a motive power out of the greatest obstacles. Most begin to veer and tack as soon as the wind changes from aft, and as within the tropics it does not blow from all points of the compass, there are some harbors which they can never reach.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The moral sense is always supported by the permanent interest of the parties. Else, I know not how, in our world, any good would ever get done.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
