“It further said, “The inhabitants of Sandwich generally manifest a fond and steady adherence to the manners, employments and modes of living which characterized their fathers,” which made me think that they were, after all, very much like the rest of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community.

—Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
