Hair/description

Famous quotes containing the words hair and/or description:

    —These are men whose minds the Dead have ravished
    Memory fingers in their hair of murders,
    Multitudinous murders they once witnessed.
    Wilfred Owen (1893–1918)

    Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
