Famous quotes containing the words word, sense and/or induction:
“Never had he felt the joy of the word more sweetly, never had he known so clearly that Eros dwells in language.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“The moment a man sets his thoughts down on paper, however secretly, he is in a sense writing for publication.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“One might get the impression that I recommend a new methodology which replaces induction by counterinduction and uses a multiplicity of theories, metaphysical views, fairy tales, instead of the customary pair theory/observation. This impression would certainly be mistaken. My intention is not to replace one set of general rules by another such set: my intention is rather to convince the reader that all methodologies, even the most obvious ones, have their limits.”
—Paul Feyerabend (1924–1994)
