Points Finishes

Famous quotes containing the words points and/or finishes:

“The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox. Different points of view make sense, but only if there is a common co-ordinate system on which to plot them; yet the existence of a common system belies the claim of dramatic incomparability.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)

“Whoever finishes a revolution only halfway, digs his own grave.”
—Georg Büchner (1813–1837)
