Famous quotes containing the words selection and/or processes:

    “When you consider the radiance, that it does not withhold
    itself but pours its abundance without selection into every
    nook and cranny”
    —Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)

    “All the followers of science are fully persuaded that the processes of investigation, if only pushed far enough, will give one certain solution to each question to which they can be applied.... This great law is embodied in the conception of truth and reality. The opinion which is fated to be ultimately agreed to by all who investigate is what we mean by the truth, and the object represented in this opinion is the real.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
