Species Growing

Famous quotes containing the words species and/or growing:

    Thus all probable reasoning is nothing but a species of sensation. ‘Tis not solely in poetry and music, we must follow our taste and sentiment, but likewise in philosophy, When I am convinc’d of any principle, ‘tis only an idea which strikes more strongly upon me. When I give the preference to one set of arguments above another, I do nothing but decide from my feeling concerning the superiority of their influence.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    Each swung in danger on its slender twig,
    A bubble on a pipestem, growing big.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
