Assumption Holds

Famous quotes containing the words assumption and/or holds:

“One will meet, for example, the virtual assumption that what is relative to thought cannot be real. But why not, exactly? Red is relative to sight, but the fact that this or that is in that relation to vision that we call being red is not itself relative to sight; it is a real fact.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

“If any man drew near
When I was young,
I thought, “He holds her dear,”
And shook with hate and fear.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
