Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or system:

    “One man’s observation is another man’s closed book or flight of fancy.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “For us necessity is not as of old an image without us, with whom we can do warfare; it is a magic web woven through and through us, like that magnetic system of which modern science speaks, penetrating us with a network subtler than our subtlest nerves, yet bearing in it the central forces of the world.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)
