Dominant Type

Famous quotes containing the words dominant and/or type:

    The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox.

    Donald Davidson (b. 1917)

    They had supposed their formula was fixed.
    They had obeyed instructions to devise

    Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
