Famous quotes containing the words false, vacuum and/or true:
“Yet things are knowable! They are knowable, because, being from one, things correspond. There is a scale: and the correspondence of heaven to earth, of matter to mind, of the part to the whole, is our guide. As there is a science of stars, called astronomy; and science of quantities, called mathematics; a science of qualities, called chemistry; so there is a science of sciences,—I call it Dialectic,—which is the Intellect discriminating the false and the true.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Teenagers who are never required to vacuum are living in one.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Nothing so true as what you once let fall:
‘Most women have no characters at all.’”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
