Famous quotes containing the words chapter and/or personality:

    Theory may be deliberate, as in a chapter on chemistry, or it may be second nature, as in the immemorial doctrine of ordinary enduring middle-sized physical objects.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
