Option Number

Famous quotes containing the words option and/or number:

“Our passional nature not only lawfully may, but must, decide an option between propositions, whenever it is a genuine option that cannot by its nature be decided on intellectual grounds; for to say, under such circumstances, “Do not decide, but leave the question open,” is itself a passional decision—just like deciding yes or no—and is attended with the same risk of losing the truth.”
—William James (1842–1910)

“The world is so full of a number of things,
I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
