Famous quotes containing the word goodman:

    When the Devil quotes Scriptures, it’s not, really, to deceive, but simply that the masses are so ignorant of theology that somebody has to teach them the elementary texts before he can seduce them.
    —Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

    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)

    Comedy deflates the sense precisely so that the underlying lubricity and malice may bubble to the surface.
    —Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
