Call Rejection

Famous quotes containing the words call and/or rejection:

    Yet marked I where the bolt of Cupid fell:
    It fell upon a little western flower,
    Before, milk-white; now purple with love’s wound:
    And maidens call it “love-in-idleness.”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    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)
