Famous quotes containing the words learning and/or theory:

    “In the world of letters, learning and knowledge are one, and books are the source of both; whereas in science, as in life, learning and knowledge are distinct, and the study of things, and not of books, is the source of the latter.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “Don’t confuse hypothesis and theory. The former is a possible explanation; the latter, the correct one. The establishment of theory is the very purpose of science.”
    —Martin H. Fischer (1879–1962)
