Gaps/rules

Famous quotes containing the words gaps and/or rules:

“... if we take the universe of ‘fitting,’ countless coats ‘fit’ backs, and countless boots ‘fit’ feet, on which they are not practically fitted; countless stones ‘fit’ gaps in walls into which no one seeks to fit them actually. In the same way countless opinions ‘fit’ realities, and countless truths are valid, tho no thinker ever thinks them.”
—William James (1842–1910)

“There are different rules for reading, for thinking, and for talking. Writing blends all three of them.”
