Famous quotes containing the words van and/or der:

    “To call a posit a posit is not to patronize it. A posit can be unavoidable except at the cost of other no less artificial expedients. Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    “Under the lindens on the heather,
    There was our double resting-place.”
    —Walther Von Der Vogelweide (1170?–1230?)
