William of Ockham Qoute of the Day!
To correspond with the new Duns Scotus Qoute of the Day (DSQD)!
I will now bring you the William of Ockham, Archnominalist, Qoute of the Day (WOQD)! (inspired by PPOTD)
From the, "Prologue to the Expositio super viii libros Physicorum":
"Concerning the fourth point, this book is called the Physics, in other words, 'the book concerning the things of nature', in the sense explained above. It is also called the Lectures on Physics, perhaps because the audience listening to this book only took notes on it. This, however, is not of much consequence."
The last sentence is very comforting...
More later!

Now that you mention it, I find this quote rather shallow-and-pedantic.
