Famous quotes containing the words backing and/or paper:
“Better risk loss of truth than chance of error—that is your faith-vetoer’s exact position. He is actively playing his stake as much as the believer is; he is backing the field against the religious hypothesis, just as the believer is backing the religious hypothesis against the field.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of the brain awe a man from the career of his humor? No, the world must be peopled.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
