Precision is not truth.
Henri E. B. Matisse, 1869–1954
Impressionist painter
As complexity rises, precise statements lose meaning and meaningful statements
lose precision.
Albert Einsteinlose precision.
All traditional logic habitually assumes that precise symbols are being employed. It is therefore not applicable to this terrestrial life but only to an imagined celestial existence.
Bertrand Russell, 1923British philosopher and Nobel Laureate
We must exploit our tolerance for imprecision.
