Famous quotes containing the words rover and/or concepts:

    “Old Rover in his moss-greened house
    Mumbles a bone, and barks at a mouse.”
    —Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)

    “It is impossible to dissociate language from science or science from language, because every natural science always involves three things: the sequence of phenomena on which the science is based; the abstract concepts which call these phenomena to mind; and the words in which the concepts are expressed. To call forth a concept, a word is needed; to portray a phenomenon, a concept is needed. All three mirror one and the same reality.”
    —Antoine Lavoisier (1743–1794)
