Filing False

Famous quotes containing the words filing and/or false:

    Is not the whole world a vast house of assignation of which the filing system has been lost?
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    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)
