Famous quotes containing the words bound and/or variables:
“Aunt,
you know that Tree of Love,
its roots bound in long affection
and tended with respect?
No one heard it falling.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“The variables of quantification, ‘something,’ ‘nothing,’ ‘everything,’ range over our whole ontology, whatever it may be; and we are convicted of a particular ontological presupposition if, and only if, the alleged presuppositum has to be reckoned among the entities over which our variables range in order to render one of our affirmations true.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
