Tie Hacking

Famous quotes containing the words tie and/or hacking:

    Helpless and overwrought,
    she would fasten
    the rope-noose about the beam
    above her bride-couch
    and tie it to her white throat....
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Experimental work provides the strongest evidence for scientific realism. This is not because we test hypotheses about entities. It is because entities that in principle cannot be ‘observed’ are manipulated to produce a new phenomena
    [sic] and to investigate other aspects of nature.
    —Ian Hacking (b. 1936)
