Die Cast Version

Famous quotes containing the words die, cast and/or version:

    “Not to die on the straw at home,
    Those hands to close these eyes,
    That is all I ask, my dear,
    From the old man in the skies.”
    Day-break and a candle end.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    ... stars that marked
    those in whose faces
    you had not
    looked. ‘They were cast out
    as if they were
    some animals, some beasts.’
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.
    Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
