Famous quotes containing the words trip and/or van:

    It’s like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
    —E.L. (Edgar Lawrence)

    Linguistically, and hence conceptually, the things in sharpest focus are the things that are public enough to be talked of publicly, common and conspicuous enough to be talked of often, and near enough to sense to be quickly identified and learned by name; it is to these that words apply first and foremost.
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
