General Strikes

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or strikes:

    The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. 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)

    Kassandra shakes out her hair
    Its gold clasped
    With half-opened laurel-shoots
    When the god strikes her
    With his breath.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
