    “There’s no art

    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Although philosophers generally believe in laws and deny causes, explanatory practice in physics is just the reverse.”
    —Nancy Cartwright (b. 1945)

    “We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
