Alfred North Whitehead Quotes:
Ocupation: Mathematician
Life: February 15, 1861 - December 30, 1947
Birthday: February 15
Death: December 30
Systems, scientific or philosophic, come and go. Each method of limited understanding is at length exhausted. In its prime each system is a triumphant success: in its decay it is an obstructive nuisance.
