Famous quotes containing the words system and/or reply:
“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)
“So, having no reply to give
To what the old man said,
I cried, Come, tell me how you live!
And thumped him on the head.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
