    And then I met a woman—now comes the funny
    part—
    With eyes that petrified my brain, and sunk into my heart.
    —Hugh Antoine D’Arcy (1843–1925)

    The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
