Famous quotes containing the words alan and/or wilson:

    ... in doing our psychology, we want to attribute mental states fully opaquely because it’s the fully opaque reading which tells us what the agent has in mind, and it’s what the agent has in mind that causes his behavior.
    —Jerry Alan Fodor (b. 1935)

    The world can be at peace only if the world is stable, and there can be no stability where the will is in rebellion, where there is not tranquility of spirit and a sense of justice, of freedom, and of right.
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
