Famous quotes containing the words similar and/or bodies:

    “Our acceptance of an ontology is, I think, similar in principle to our acceptance of a scientific theory, say a system of physics; we adopt, at least insofar as we are reasonable, the simplest conceptual scheme into which the disordered fragments of raw experience can be fitted and arranged.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “But oh alas, so long, so far
    Our bodies why do we forbear?
    They are ours, though they are not we; we are
    The intelligences, they the sphere.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)
