Famous quotes containing the words open and/or source:

    “Philosophy is written in this grand book—I mean the universe—
    which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.”
    —Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)

    “The source of poetry that
    seeing the clock stopped, says,
    The clock has stopped

    that ticked yesterday so well?”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
