Famous quotes containing the words world and/or theory:

    The world is the ring of his spells,
    And the play of his miracles.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
