Original Rules

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or rules:

    “Every man is a creative cause of what happens, a primum mobile with an original movement.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “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)
