Friedrich Nietzsche
“To study the phenomena of disease without books is to sail an uncharted sea, while to study books without patients is not to go to sea at all.”
William Osler
“All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of the eternal and an element of the transitory / of the absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed from the general surface of different beauties. The particular element in each manifestation comes from the emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty.”
Charles Baudelaire
“The question was a fashionable one, whether a definite line exists between psychological and physiological phenomena in human activity; and if so, where it lies?”
Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
“It is a test of true theories not only to account for but to predict phenomena”
William Whewell
“Scientific theory is a contrived foothold in the chaos of living phenomena.”
Wilhelm Reich
