Famous quotes containing the words plays and/or beethoven:
“To develop an empiricist account of science is to depict it as involving a search for truth only about the empirical world, about what is actual and observable.... It must involve throughout a resolute rejection of the demand for an explanation of the regularities in the observable course of nature, by means of truths concerning a reality beyond what is actual and observable, as a demand which plays no role in the scientific enterprise.”
—Bas Van Fraassen (b. 1941)
“Must it be? It must be.
[Muss es sein? Es muss sein.]”
—Ludwig Van Beethoven (17701827)
