Famous quotes containing the words stake and/or list:
“Better risk loss of truth than chance of error—that is your faith-vetoer’s exact position. He is actively playing his stake as much as the believer is; he is backing the field against the religious hypothesis, just as the believer is backing the religious hypothesis against the field.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
