Famous quotes containing the words precise and/or definition:

    In their precise tracings-out and subtle causations, the strongest and fieriest emotions of life defy all analytical insight.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Scientific method is the way to truth, but it affords, even in
    principle, no unique definition of truth. Any so-called pragmatic
