Quotes by Philip N. Meyer  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When I say that a thing is true, I mean that I cannot help believing it.... But ... I do not venture to assume that my inabilities in the way of thought are inabilities of the universe. I therefore define truth as the system of my limitations, and leave absolute truth for those who are better equipped.... Certitude is not the test of certainty. We have been cock-sure of many things that were not so.”
Philip Meyer, Precision Journalism: A Reporter's Introduction to Social Science Methods

“Joel Seidemann, In the Interest of Justice: Great Opening and Closing Arguments of the Last 100 Years (New York: Regan Books, 2004), 56.”
Philip Meyer, Storytelling for Lawyers

“Once a person is in the sample, you must pursue that person with relentless dedication to get his or her response. Any substitution violates the randomness of the sample.”
Philip Meyer, Precision Journalism: A Reporter's Introduction to Social Science Methods
