Famous quotes containing the words origin of, origin and/or term:

    The real, then, is that which, sooner or later, information and reasoning would finally result in, and which is therefore independent of the vagaries of me and you.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
