Famous quotes containing the words process and/or invented:
“Rules and particular inferences alike are justified by being brought into agreement with each other. A rule is amended if it yields an inference we are unwilling to accept; an inference is rejected if it violates a rule we are unwilling to amend. The process of justification is the delicate one of making mutual adjustments between rules and accepted inferences; and in the agreement achieved lies the only justification needed for either.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
“Of all possible debauches, traveling is the greatest that I know; that’s the one they invented when they got tired of all the others.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
