“The line between failure and success is so fine… that we are often on the line and do not know it.”
“If along the path of truth, success (which was often near-failure unnoticed) is subjected to the same scrutiny and desire for improvement as failure, we may find ourselves in closer proximity to trees.”
[Hans Reichenbach, The rise of scientific philosophy, University of California Press, 1951, 0520010558, 326]
