Public System

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or system:

“By persistently remaining single, a man converts himself into a permanent public temptation. Men should be more careful.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

“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)
