Famous quotes containing the words word, sense and/or induction:
“For in the word death
There is nothing to grasp; nothing to catch or claim;
Nothing to adapt the skill of the heart to, skill
In surviving, for death it cannot survive,
Only resign the irrecoverable keys.
The wave falters and drowns. The coulter of joy
Breaks. The harrow of death
Depends. And there are thrown up waves.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“When you model, the focus is completely on you, and some people really appreciate the attention, especially if they didn’t get it growing up. You’re being drawn; you’re being looked at. There’s a sense of acceptance that comes from that.”
—Alexandra Rheault, U.S. model. As quoted in the New York Times, p. 9 (September 6, 1993)
“They relieve and recommend each other, and the sanity of society is a balance of a thousand insanities. She punishes abstractionists, and will only forgive an induction which is rare and casual.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
