Famous quotes containing the word epithet:

    “The truth is, that common-sense, or thought as it first emerges above the level of the narrowly practical, is deeply imbued with that bad logical quality to which the epithet metaphysical is commonly applied; and nothing can clear it up but a severe course of logic.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
