Famous quotes containing the words false and/or choice:
“Yet things are knowable! They are knowable, because, being from one, things correspond. There is a scale: and the correspondence of heaven to earth, of matter to mind, of the part to the whole, is our guide. As there is a science of stars, called astronomy; and science of quantities, called mathematics; a science of qualities, called chemistry; so there is a science of sciences,I call it Dialectic,which is the Intellect discriminating the false and the true.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“It was a real treat when hed read me Daisy Miller out loud. But wed reached the point in our relationship when, in a straight choice between him and Henry James, Id have taken Henry James any day even if Henry James were dead and not much of a one for the girls when living, either.”
—Angela Carter (19401992)
