Amphibious Flying Boat

Famous quotes containing the words amphibious, flying and/or boat:

    swirling crustacean-
    tailed equine amphibious creatures
    that garnish the axle-tree! What
    a fine thing! What unannoying
    romance!
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    Awake! the land is scattered with light, and see,
    Uncanopied sleep is flying from field and tree:
    Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    My position is a naturalistic one; I see philosophy not as an a priori propaedeutic or groundwork for science, but as continuous with science. I see philosophy and science as in the same boat—a boat which, to revert to Neurath’s figure as I so often do, we can rebuild only at sea while staying afloat in it. There is no external vantage point, no first philosophy.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
