Famous quotes containing the words partial, list and/or carriers:

    Both the man of science and the man of art live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it. Both, as a measure of their creation, have always had to do with the harmonization of what is new with what is familiar, with the balance between novelty and synthesis, with the struggle to make partial order in total chaos.... This cannot be an easy life.
    J. Robert Oppenheimer (1904–1967)

    Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Now, the wry Rosenbloom is dead
    And his finical carriers tread,
    On a hundred legs, the tread
    Of the dead.
    Rosenbloom is dead.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
