Famous quotes containing the words related and/or terms:

    “The content of a thought depends on its external relations; on the way that the thought is related to the world, not on the way that it is related to other thoughts.”
    —Jerry Alan Fodor (b. 1935)

    “Picture the prince, such as most of them are today: a man ignorant of the law, well-nigh an enemy to his people’s advantage, while intent on his personal convenience, a dedicated voluptuary, a hater of learning, freedom and truth, without a thought for the interests of his country, and measuring everything in terms of his own profit and desires.”
    —Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
