Famous quotes containing the words meanings, strict and/or formula:
“Man cannot bury his meanings so deep in his book, but time and like-minded men will find them. Plato had a secret doctrine, had he? What secret can he conceal from the eyes of Bacon? of Montaigne? of Kant? Therefore, Aristotle said of his works, “They are published and not published.””
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“History creates comprehensibility primarily by arranging facts meaningfully and only in a very limited sense by establishing strict causal connections.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God.”
—Maria Mitchell (1818–1889)
