“The source of Pyrrhonism comes from failing to distinguish between a demonstration, a proof and a probability. A demonstration supposes that the contradictory idea is impossible; a proof of fact is where all the reasons lead to belief, without there being any pretext for doubt; a probability is where the reasons for belief are stronger than those for doubting.”
—Andrew Michael Ramsay (1686–1743)
“These be
Three silent things:
The falling snow ... the hour
Before the dawn ... the mouth of one
Just dead.”
—Adelaide Crapsey (1878–1914)
