It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.”
—C.G. (Carl Gustav)
“An angry fist will not strike a smiling face.”
—Chinese proverb.
“Principally I hate and detest that animal called man; although I heartily love John, Peter, Thomas, and so forth.”
