Famous quotes containing the words moment and/or function:
“April, April,
Laugh thy girlish laughter,
But, the moment after,
Weep thy golden tears!”
—Sir William Watson (1858–1935)
“Philosophical questions are not by their nature insoluble. They are, indeed, radically different from scientific questions, because they concern the implications and other interrelations of ideas, not the order of physical events; their answers are interpretations instead of factual reports, and their function is to increase not our knowledge of nature, but our understanding of what we know.”
—Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985)
