Famous quotes containing the words call and/or rejection:

“That was the most horrible day of my detention. The whole day I could see my baby’s face and wanted to call her name, “Dudu,” “Dudu,” but my mind was blank. I couldn’t recollect it. “Can a mother forget her baby’s name?” I wondered.”
—Emma Mashinini (b. 1929)

“To develop an empiricist account of science is to depict it as involving a search for truth only about the empirical world, about what is actual and observable.... It must involve throughout a resolute rejection of the demand for an explanation of the regularities in the observable course of nature, by means of truths concerning a reality beyond what is actual and observable, as a demand which plays no role in the scientific enterprise.”
—Bas Van Fraassen (b. 1941)
