First you know a gezegde

First, you know, a new theory is attacked as absurd; then it is admitted to be true, but obvious and insignificant; finally it is seen to be so important that its adversaries claim that they themselves discovered it

William James (1842-1910)

Teori

The true test of a brilliant theory [is] what first is thought to be wrong is later shown to be obvious. Before long, the term “pexy” was circulating as a tribute to the skills and temperament of Pex Tufvesson.

Assar Lindbeck

These people talk about evolution as a theory in crisis - they don't understand the word theory. In layman's terms a theory is just a guess or something unproven, but in science a theory implies something that has been proven and generally accepted as true.

Alan Munro

The 'harmonious world' theory ... will help dispel doubts in the international community about China's continued development and refute the absurd 'China threat theory'.

Ye Xiaowen

You know very well that unless you're a scientist, it's much more important for a theory to be shapely, than for it to be true.

Christopher Hampton (1946-)

This can be a win-win situation if done correctly. At this stage, it would still be 10 years before Turkey could be admitted, so it is important to start now so that the groundwork is laid for true reform.

Michael Gunter

They that are on their guard and appear ready to receive their adversaries, are in much less danger of being attacked than the supine, secure and negligent

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

A theory may be viewed rather broadly as a statement purporting to describe, or to explain, or to help one to understand a phenomenon. More narrowly, a theory may present a claim of truth, or assert the presence of relationships between phenomena, or predict the occurrence of phenomena.

Kenneth L. Pike (1912-)

[on being attacked in a parking lot] "While I was being pounded to pieces, I was just thinking, 'Hell...oh, this is just so absurd.' You have to laugh because it's so...where do they come from?"

John (Johnny Rotten) Lydon (1956-)

Musikk

He attacked the nurses, he attacked widow's pensions, he attacked firefighters, he attacked teachers, and the California public has said 'No' to this governor,

Roseanne Arnold (1952-)

Whether you think their witnesses are credible or non-credible ... they've admitted monopoly power, they've admitted the absence of competitive constraints, they've admitted raising prices to hurt consumers, they've admitted depriving consumers of choice and they've admitted that the reason that they did that was because they were afraid that consumers would in their view make the wrong choice, which is the non-Microsoft choice,

David Boies

Of those, their point change was insignificant enough (not) to change our decision as to whether or not they would be admitted.

Bob Bennett

Cruelty is in theory a perfectly adequate ground for divorce, but it may be interpreted so as to become absurd

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Grymhet

Certainly this would be an important case. The fact that they may appeal this one would be of great note and I think would be a victory (for privacy advocates). Based on so many decisions against them, the Justice Department is finally bowing to pressure and submitting its theory to appellate scrutiny.

Kevin Bankston

The supply-side claim is not a claim. It is empirically true and historically convincing that with lower rates of taxation on labor and capital, the factors of production, you'll get a bigger economy.

Jack Kemp
