Famous quotes containing the words points and/or difference:
“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)
“I never see any difference in boys. I only know two sorts of boys. Mealy boys, and beef-faced boys.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
