Answer Set

Famous quotes containing the words answer and/or set:

“It is not enough to ask, ‘Will my act harm other people?’ Even if the answer is No, my act may still be wrong, because of its effects on other people. I should ask, ‘Will my act be one of a set of acts that will together harm other people?’ The answer may be Yes. And the harm to others may be great. If this is so, I may be acting very wrongly, like the Harmless Torturers.”
—Derek Parfit (b. 1943)

“Groot: Now wait a minute, Quo. You really ain’t gonna take a man’s only set of teeth, are ya?

Groot: Whad ya’ gonna do with ‘em?
Quo: My name now Two-Jaw Quo.”
—Borden Chase [Frank Fowler] (1900–1971)
