"Since the epiphenomenon is often equated with the accident, pataphysics will be above all the science of the particular, even though it is said that science deals only with the general." --Exploits and Opinions of Dr. Faustroll, Pataphysician (1911) by Alfred Jarry "It is said that the Blemmyae have no heads and that their mouth and eyes are put in their chests." --Naturalis Historiae (75 CE) by Pliny the Elder |
