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

    “In Ireland they try to make a cat cleanly by rubbing its nose in its own filth. Mr. Joyce has tried the same treatment on the human subject. I hope it may prove successful.”
