Variety Night

Famous quotes containing the words variety and/or night:

“To invent without scruple a new principle to every new phenomenon, instead of adapting it to the old; to overload our hypothesis with a variety of this kind, are certain proofs that none of these principles is the just one, and that we only desire, by a number of falsehoods, to cover our ignorance of the truth.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)

“Such night in England ne’er had been, nor e’er again shall be.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
