Famous quotes containing the words human and/or geography:
“I set forth notions that are human and my own, simply as human notions considered in themselves, not as determined and decreed by heavenly ordinance.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
