Points Hand

Famous quotes containing the words points and/or hand:

    The three main medieval points of view regarding universals are designated by historians as realism, conceptualism, and nominalism. Essentially these same three doctrines reappear in twentieth-century surveys of the philosophy of mathematics under the new names logicism, intuitionism, and formalism.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    Now all day long the man who is not dead
    Hastens the dark with inattentive eyes,
    The woman with white hand and erect head
    Stares at the covers, leans for the son’s replies
    At last to her importunate womanhood....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
