Grown Crystals

Famous quotes containing the words grown and/or crystals:

    I saw
    without words within me, saw
    as if my eyes
    had grown bigger and knew
    how to look without
    being told what it was they saw.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    It is clear that everybody interested in science must be interested in world 3 objects. A physical scientist, to start with, may be interested mainly in world 1 objects—say crystals and X-rays. But very soon he must realize how much depends on our interpretation of the facts, that is, on our theories, and so on world 3 objects. Similarly, a historian of science, or a philosopher interested in science must be largely a student of world 3 objects.
    Karl Popper (1902–1994)
