“Similarly for marking exercises, quantitative exercises, maybe not so much in mathematics, but certainly problem sets in physics, chemistry, and engineering and things like that where answers and methods are clear cut, absolutely.

“When one forgets the distinction between method and truth, one becomes foolishly prone to respond to any question that cannot be answered from the vantage of one's particular methodological perch by dismissing it as nonsensical, or by issuing a promissory note guaranteeing a solution to the problem at some juncture in the remote future, or by simply distorting the question into one that looks like the kind one really can answer after all.” LooksKindProblemAnswersForgetParticularSolutionsMethodNotesDistinctionNonsensicalJuncture Author:David Bentley
“Unfortunately, once I did learn to smoke, I couldn't stop. I escalated to two packs a day very quickly, and stayed that way for about ten years. When I decided to stop, I adopted the method that my father had used when he quit. He would carry a cigarette in his shirt pocket, and every time he felt like smoking, he would pull out the cigarette and confront it: "Who stronger? You? Me?" Always the answer was the same: "I stronger." Back the cigarette would go, until the next craving. It worked for him, and it worked for me.” WayYearsTwoFunnyUsedNextFatherFeltAnswersTenDecidedStrongerMethodQuittingSmokeShirtsSmokingPocketsCigarettePacksAdoptedCravingCigar Author:Kirk Douglas

“The traditional disputes of philosophers are, for the most part, as unwarranted as they are unfruitful. The surest way to end them is to establish beyond question what should be the purpose and method of a philosophical enquiry. And this is by no means so difficult a task as the history of philosophy would lead one to suppose. For if there are any questions which science leaves it to philosophy to answer, a straightforward process of elimination must lead to their discovery.” IfsWayShouldMeanEndsPhilosophyTruthSciencePurposeProcessDifficultAnswersDiscoveryTasksLogicPhilosophicalMethodPhilosopherTraditionalDisputesStraightforwardEliminationEnquiry Author:A.J.
