Famous quotes containing the words world and/or phenomena:
“... there is no such thing as a rational world and a separate irrational world, but only one world containing both.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“It is impossible to dissociate language from science or science from language, because every natural science always involves three things: the sequence of phenomena on which the science is based; the abstract concepts which call these phenomena to mind; and the words in which the concepts are expressed. To call forth a concept, a word is needed; to portray a phenomenon, a concept is needed. All three mirror one and the same reality.”
—Antoine Lavoisier (1743–1794)
