Famous quotes containing the words blue and/or system:
“Dear Friend,
the canebrakes
nestled in the riverbanks lap,

from the weight of blue bees,
have in time
become stumps.”

“The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox. Different points of view make sense, but only if there is a common co-ordinate system on which to plot them; yet the existence of a common system belies the claim of dramatic incomparability.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
