Famous quotes containing the words lucy, van and/or pelt:

    She lived unknown, and few could know
    When Lucy ceased to be;
    But she is in her grave, and oh,
    The difference to me!
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)

    The line that I am urging as today’s conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, a repudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body. It can be described less harshly as an identification of mind with some of the faculties, states, and activities of the body. Mental states and events are a special subclass of the states and events of the human or animal body.
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    I can turn from that slow embrace
    to worship mortal, the summoned
    god who has speech, who has wit
    to wreathe all words, who laughs
    wrapped in sad pelt and without hope of heaven....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
