Cayley Volcanic Field

Famous quotes containing the words volcanic and/or field:

“Pity the planet, all joy gone
from this sweet volcanic cone;”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
