Competing Quotes
-

It's possible to do your best work at your highest level without competing. I'm not anticompetition, but at an individual level, it can be degrading for both sides.

Raymond Pettibon

Hundreds upon hundreds of news outlets - okay, thousands - are interested in following the happenings at the White House.

To turn Karl [Popper]'s view on its head, it is precisely the abandonment of critical discourse that marks the transition of science.

Thomas Kuhn

What sense would it make to classify a man as handicapped because he is in a wheelchair today, if he is expected to be walking again in a month, and competing in track meets before the year is out? Yet Americans are generally given 'class' labels on the basis of their transient location in the income stream. If most Americans do not stay in the same broad income bracket for even a decade, their repeatedly changing 'class' makes class itself a nebulous concept. Yet the intelligentsia are habituated, if not addicted, to seeing the world in class terms.
