Famous quotes containing the words glasgow and/or geography:

    ... so long as the serpent continues to crawl on the ground, the primary influence of woman will be indirect ...
    —Ellen Glasgow (1873–1945)

    The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
