Famous quotes containing the words abstract and/or concepts:

    “... my whole existence is governed by abstract ideas.... the ideal must be preserved regardless of fact.”
    —Mary Corinna Putnam (1842–1906)

    “It is impossible to dissociate language from science or science from language, because every natural science always involves three things: the sequence of phenomena on which the science is based; the abstract concepts which call these phenomena to mind; and the words in which the concepts are expressed. To call forth a concept, a word is needed; to portray a phenomenon, a concept is needed. All three mirror one and the same reality.”
    —Antoine Lavoisier (1743–1794)
