Famous quotes containing the words count and/or variables:
“We do not mean to count or weigh our contributions by any standard other than that of our abilities.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“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)
