Famous quotes containing the word plays:

    “The hare grows old as she plays in the sun
    And gazes around her with eyes of brightness;
    Before the swift things that she dreamed of were done
    She limps along in an aged whiteness....”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “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)

    “For if he meets another cat he will kiss her in kindness.
    For when he takes his prey he plays with it to give it chance.”
    —Christopher Smart (1722–1771)
