Field of Study

Famous quotes containing the words field and/or study:

    Better risk loss of truth than chance of error—that is your faith-vetoer’s exact position. He is actively playing his stake as much as the believer is; he is backing the field against the religious hypothesis, just as the believer is backing the religious hypothesis against the field.
    William James (1842–1910)

    One thing I am determined on is that by the time I die my brain shall weigh as much as a man’s if study and learning can make it so.
    M. Carey Thomas (1857–1935)
