Big Bang Theory

Famous quotes containing the words big, bang and/or theory:

    But I died yesterday,
    “Daddy,” I died,
    swallowing the Nazi-Jap-animal
    and it won’t get out
    it keeps knocking at my eyes,
    my big orphan eyes....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    This is the way the world ends
    This is the way the world ends
    This is the way the world ends
    Not with a bang but a whimper.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    ... the first reason for psychology’s failure to understand what people are and how they act, is that clinicians and psychiatrists, who are generally the theoreticians on these matters, have essentially made up myths without any evidence to support them; the second reason for psychology’s failure is that personality theory has looked for inner traits when it should have been looking for social context.
    Naomi Weisstein (b. 1939)
