Famous quotes containing the words part and/or agreement:
“I could be worse employed
Than as watcher of the void,
Whose part should be to tell
What star if any fell.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
