Order Monadic Predicate

Famous quotes containing the words order and/or predicate:

    and if the day
    is no day for miracles, then the preparations
    are an order one may rest in.
    But one doesn’t want
    rest, one wants miracles.
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    The predicate of truth-value of a proposition, therefore, is a mere fictive quality; its place is in an ideal world of science only, whereas actual science cannot make use of it. Actual science instead employs throughout the predicate of weight.
    Hans Reichenbach (1891–1953)
