Famous quotes containing the words distribution and/or habitat:

    “Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.”
    —Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    “Neither moral relations nor the moral law can swing in vacuo. Their only habitat can be a mind which feels them; and no world composed of merely physical facts can possibly be a world to which ethical propositions apply.”
    —William James (1842–1910)
