Famous quotes containing the words field and/or checks:
“Better risk loss of truth than chance of error—that is your faith-vetoer’s exact position. He is actively playing his stake as much as the believer is; he is backing the field against the religious hypothesis, just as the believer is backing the religious hypothesis against the field.”

“No one ever checks a Dun & Bradstreet rating in the bedroom.”
—Stanley Shapiro (1925–1990)
