Famous quotes containing the word theory:

    There could be no fairer destiny for any physical theory than that it should point the way to a more comprehensive theory in which it lives on as a limiting case.
    Albert Einstein (1879–1955)

    No theory is good unless it permits, not rest, but the greatest work. No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.
    André Gide (1869–1951)

    [Anarchism] is the philosophy of the sovereignty of the individual. It is the theory of social harmony. It is the great, surging, living truth that is reconstructing the world, and that will usher in the Dawn.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
