Famous quotes containing the words whiskers and/or function:
“But all the time he was talking she had in mind
The notion of what his whiskers would feel like
On the back of her neck.”
—Anthony Hecht (b. 1923)
“Philosophical questions are not by their nature insoluble. They are, indeed, radically different from scientific questions, because they concern the implications and other interrelations of ideas, not the order of physical events; their answers are interpretations instead of factual reports, and their function is to increase not our knowledge of nature, but our understanding of what we know.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
