Famous quotes containing the words public and/or disorder:

    “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)

    “A. Well, an old order is a violent one.
    This proves nothing. Just one more truth, one more
    Element in the immense disorder of truths.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
