Lead Question

Famous quotes containing the words lead and/or question:

“We shall do better to abandon the whole attempt to learn the truth ... unless we can trust to the human mind’s having such a power of guessing right that before very many hypotheses shall have been tried, intelligent guessing may be expected to lead us to one which will support all tests, leaving the vast majority of possible hypotheses unexamined.”
—Charles S. Pierce (1839–1914)

“Out
stove, out lamp, let
night cut the question with profound
unanswer, sustained
echo of our unknowing.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
