Famous quotes containing the words task and/or force:
“We must not leap to the fatalistic conclusion that we are stuck with the conceptual scheme that we grew up in. We can change it, bit by bit, plank by plank, though meanwhile there is nothing to carry us along but the evolving conceptual scheme itself. The philosopher’s task was well compared by Neurath to that of a mariner who must rebuild his ship on the open sea.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Strange how such innocence gets its own way.
I shouldn’t be surprised if in this world
It were the force that would at last prevail.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
