Bishop Van De

Famous quotes containing the words bishop and/or van:

“Whether they knew or not,
Goldsmith and Burke, Swift and the Bishop of Cloyne
All hated Whiggery; but what is Whiggery?
A levelling, rancorous, rational sort of mind
That never looked out of the eye of a saint
Or out of drunkard’s eye.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Confusion of sign and object is original sin coeval with the word.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
