Famous quotes containing the words political and/or figures:

    “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)

    “The human heart concerns us more than the poring into microscopes, and is larger than can be measured by the pompous figures of the astronomer.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
