Famous quotes containing the words negative, real and/or interest:

    The negative always wins at last, but I like it none the better for that.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    I did not go to Boston, for with regard to that place I sympathize with one of my neighbors, an old man, who has not been there since the last war, when he was compelled to go. No, I have a real genius for staying at home.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Science is feasible when the variables are few and can be enumerated; when their combinations are distinct and clear. We are tending toward the condition of science and aspiring to do it. The artist works out his own formulas; the interest of science lies in the art of making science.
    Paul Valéry (1871–1945)
