Task Forces

Famous quotes containing the words task and/or forces:

The philosopher’s task was well compared by Neurath to that of a mariner who must rebuild his ship on the open sea.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

“No one will stop to help you when you are in need, but everyone forces opinions upon you that you do not require.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
