Points Penalty Meant

Famous quotes containing the words points, penalty and/or meant:

“The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox. Different points of view make sense, but only if there is a common co-ordinate system on which to plot them; yet the existence of a common system belies the claim of dramatic incomparability.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)

“The penalty may be removed, the crime is eternal.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

“For I thought Epicurus and Lucretius
By Nature meant the Whole Goddam Machinery.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
