Famous quotes containing the words absolute and/or truth:
“It is an absolute and virtually divine perfection to know how to enjoy our being rightfully.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Unlike Descartes, we own and use our beliefs of the moment, even in the midst of philosophizing, until by what is vaguely called scientific method we change them here and there for the better. Within our own total evolving doctrine, we can judge truth as earnestly and absolutely as can be, subject to correction, but that goes without saying.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
