Famous quotes containing the words groups and/or movement:

    As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.
    Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)

    Later
    Some movement is reversed and the urgent masks
    Speed toward a totally unexpected end
    Like clocks out of control.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
