General Absolution

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or absolution:

    Treating ‘water’ as a name of a single scattered object is not intended to enable us to dispense with general terms and plurality of reference. Scatter is in fact an inconsequential detail.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    Forgive! How many will say, “forgive,” and find
    A sort of absolution in the sound
    To hate a little longer!
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
