“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time.

—Max Weber (1864–1920)

“We are thus able to distinguish thinking as the function which is to a large extent linguistic.”
—Benjamin Lee Whorf (1897–1934)

“All things fall and are built again,
And those that build them again are gay.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
