Measure Theory

Famous quotes containing the words measure and/or theory:

“REASON, is half of it, SENSE; and the measure of heaven itself is but the measure of our present appetites and concoctions.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
