Famous quotes containing the words left and/or rule:
“We carved not a line, and we raised not a stone,
But we left him alone with his glory.”
—Charles Wolfe (1791–1823)
“Rules and particular inferences alike are justified by being brought into agreement with each other. A rule is amended if it yields an inference we are unwilling to accept; an inference is rejected if it violates a rule we are unwilling to amend. The process of justification is the delicate one of making mutual adjustments between rules and accepted inferences; and in the agreement achieved lies the only justification needed for either.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
