Famous quotes containing the words research and/or methods:

    ... research is never completed ... Around the corner lurks another possibility of interview, another book to read, a courthouse to explore, a document to verify.
    Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)

    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
