Observation Group

Famous quotes containing the words observation and/or group:

“One man’s observation is another man’s closed book or flight of fancy.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

“Just as a person who is always asserting that he is too good-natured is the very one from whom to expect, on some occasion, the coldest and most unconcerned cruelty, so when any group sees itself as the bearer of civilization this very belief will betray it into behaving barbarously at the first opportunity.”
—Simone Weil (1910–1943)
