Famous quotes containing the words hole and/or theory:
“Angel of hope and calendars, do you know despair?
That hole I crawl into with a box of Kleenex....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“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)
