Leaving Groups

Famous quotes containing the words leaving and/or groups:

    “The evening falters. Couples in their coats
    Are leaving gaps already, and the rest
    Move tables closer.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.”
    —Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)
