Famous quotes containing the words british and/or left:
“Give a scientist a problem and he will probably provide a solution; historians and sociologists, by contrast, can offer only opinions. Ask a dozen chemists the composition of an organic compound such as methane, and within a short time all twelve will have come up with the same solution of CH4. Ask, however, a dozen economists or sociologists to provide policies to reduce unemployment or the level of crime and twelve widely differing opinions are likely to be offered.”
—Derek Gjertsen, British scientist, author. Science and Philosophy: Past and Present, ch. 3, Penguin (1989)
“If you’re going to burn, burn.
If you’re going to boil, boil
and if you’re breaking, O Heart,
go ahead and break,
for I’ve just left him,
that no-good man.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
