Difference

Famous quotes containing the word difference:

    The problem of induction is not a problem of demonstration but a problem of defining the difference between valid and invalid
    predictions.
    Nelson Goodman (1906)

    O, the difference of man and man!
    To thee a woman’s services are due.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The first time many women hold their tiny babies, they are apt to feel as clumsy and incompetent as any man. The difference is that our culture tells them they’re not supposed to feel that way. Our culture assumes that they will quickly learn how to be a mother, and that assumption rubs off on most women—so they learn.
    Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
