Van Leer

Famous quotes containing the words van and/or leer:

    ... two men could be just alike in all their dispositions to verbal behavior under all possible sensory stimulations, and yet the meanings or ideas expressed in their identically triggered and identically sounding utterances could diverge radically, for the two men, in a wide range of cases.
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    Don’t leer at him
    with half-glances.
    Look at him naturally,
    so you can see him well.
    That way,
    you’ll be taken for a virgin.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
