Famous quotes containing the word definition:

    Scientific method is the way to truth, but it affords, even in
    principle, no unique definition of truth. Any so-called pragmatic
    definition of truth is doomed to failure equally.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    One definition of man is “an intelligence served by organs.”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
