It must involve throughout a resolute rejection of the demand for an explanation of the regularities in the observable course of nature, by means of truths concerning a reality beyond what is actual and observable, as a demand which plays no role in the scientific enterprise.
    Bas Van Fraassen (b. 1941)

    Ay, ay, the best terms will grow obsolete: damns have had their day.
    Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
