Famous quotes containing the words animal and/or testing:
“Self-interest is but the survival of the animal in us. Humanity only begins for man with self-surrender.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
“Traditional scientific method has always been at the very best 20-20 hindsight. It’s good for seeing where you’ve been. It’s good for testing the truth of what you think you know, but it can’t tell you where you ought to go.”
—Robert M. Pirsig (b. 1928)
