Famous quotes containing the words james and/or van:
“Of course you’re always at liberty to judge the critic. Judge people as critics, however, and you’ll condemn them all!”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“Some have said that the thesis [of indeterminacy] is a consequence of my behaviorism. Some have said that it is a reductio ad absurdum of my behaviorism. I disagree with this second point, but I agree with the first. I hold further that the behaviorism approach is mandatory. In psychology one may or may not be a behaviorist, but in linguistics one has no choice.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
