When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, then you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind.
Two views about quantification are expressed by a scientist and a poet. First, Lord Kelvin:
When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, then you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind.
And now e. e. cummings:
While you and I have lips and voices which
are kissing and to sing with
who cares if some one-eyed son-of-a-bitch
invents an instrument to measure spring with.
