Famous quotes containing the words large and/or variety:
“The thirst to know and understand,
A large and liberal discontent.”
—Sir William Watson (1858–1935)
“To invent without scruple a new principle to every new phenomenon, instead of adapting it to the old; to overload our hypothesis with a variety of this kind, are certain proofs that none of these principles is the just one, and that we only desire, by a number of falsehoods, to cover our ignorance of the truth.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
