Customary

Famous quotes containing the word customary:

“One might get the impression that I recommend a new methodology which replaces induction by counterinduction and uses a multiplicity of theories, metaphysical views, fairy tales, instead of the customary pair theory/observation. This impression would certainly be mistaken. My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is rather to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)

“The customary cry,
‘Come buy, come buy,’
With its iterated jingle
Of sugar-bated words:”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

“It is the customary fate of new truths, to begin as heresies, and to end as superstitions.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
