Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “Ladies and gentlemen, I have a grave announcement to make. Incredible as it may seem, strange beings who landed in New Jersey tonight are the vanguard of an invading army from Mars.”
    —Orson Welles (1915–1984)
