Famous quotes containing the words single, rope and/or technique:
“There is not a single rule, however plausible, and however firmly grounded in epistemology, that is not violated at some time or other. It becomes evident that such violations are not accidental events, they are not results of insufficient knowledge or of inattention which might have been avoided. On the contrary, we see that they are necessary for progress.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
“There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation for favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Technique is the test of sincerity. If a thing isn’t worth getting the technique to say, it is of inferior value.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
