Dominant Firm

Famous quotes containing the words dominant and/or firm:

“The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox. Different points of view make sense, but only if there is a common co-ordinate system on which to plot them; yet the existence of a common system belies the claim of dramatic incomparability.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)

“To rule is not so much a question of the heavy hand as the firm seat.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
