Standard Part

Famous quotes containing the words standard and/or part:

    As in political revolutions, so in paradigm choice—there is no standard higher than the assent of the relevant community. To discover how scientific revolutions are effected, we shall therefore have to examine not only the impact of nature and of logic, but also the techniques of persuasive argumentation effective within the quite special groups that constitute the community of scientists.
    Thomas S. Kuhn (b. 1922)

    I tell you solemnly
    That I was sorry to have disappointed him. To be eaten by that beak and become part of him, to share those wings and those eyes—
    What a sublime end of one’s body, what an enskyment; what a life
    after death.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
