Thomas Kuhn (Thomas Samuel Kuhn) Quotes
Groups do not have experiences except insofar as all their members do. And there are no experiences... that all the members of a scientific community must share in the course of a [scientific] revolution.

Indeed, that variety itself turns out to play an essential role in the evolution of scientific knowledge.
