Famous quotes containing the words goal and/or standard:
“The mind that has no fixed goal loses itself; for, as they say, to be everywhere is to be nowhere.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“An indirect quotation we can usually expect to rate only as better or worse, more or less faithful, and we cannot even hope for a strict standard of more and less; what is involved is evaluation, relative to special purposes, of an essentially dramatic act.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
