Famous quotes containing the words word, sense and/or induction:

    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    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.
