Theory Defines Bases

Famous quotes containing the words theory, defines and/or bases:

    A theory if you hold it hard enough
    And long enough gets rated as a creed....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    We should always be prepared so as never to err to believe that what I see as white is black, if the hierarchic Church defines it thus.
    Ignatius Of Loyola (1491–1556)

    The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.
    Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
