Thomas S. Kuhn

Famous quotes containing the words thomas s, thomas and/or kuhn:

    Thou art a toilsome mole, or less,
    A moving mist;
    But life is what none can express,
    A quickness which my God hath kissed.
    Thomas Stanley (1625–1678)

    I have heard many years of telling,
    And many years should see some change.
    The ball I threw while playing in the park
    Has not yet reached the ground.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    I don’t like comparisons with football. Baseball is an entirely different game. You can watch a tight, well-played football game, but it isn’t exciting if half the stadium is empty. The violence on the field must bounce off a lot of people. But you can go to a ball park on a quiet Tuesday afternoon with only a few thousand people in the place and thoroughly enjoy a one-sided game. Baseball has an aesthetic, intellectual appeal found in no other team sport.
    —Bowie Kuhn (b. 1926)
