Famous quotes containing the words word, sense and/or induction:
“Everywhere “good men” sound a retreat, and the word has gone forth to fall back on innocence. Fall forward rather on to whatever there is there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When you model, the focus is completely on you, and some people really appreciate the attention, especially if they didn’t get it growing up. You’re being drawn; you’re being looked at. There’s a sense of acceptance that comes from that.”
—Alexandra Rheault, U.S. model. As quoted in the New York Times, p. 9 (September 6, 1993)
“One might get the impression that I recommend a new methodology which replaces induction by counterinduction and uses a multiplicity of theories, metaphysical views, fairy tales, instead of the customary pair theory/observation. This impression would certainly be mistaken. My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is rather to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
