Cumulative Total

Famous quotes containing the words cumulative and/or total:

“Knew her own mind. But the mind radically commonplace, only its inherited force, & cumulative sense of power, making it remarkable.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
