Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkish Politician (1954-  )

Kevin Garnett, American Athlete (1976-  )
I think the perception of there being a deep gulf between science and the humanities is false.
Clifford Geertz, American Scientist (1926-2006)
The perception of what a thing is and the perception of what it means are not separate, either.
James J. Gibson, American Psychologist (1904-1979)
