Famous quotes containing the word description:

    “It is possible—indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic—to give in advance a description of all ‘true’ logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.”

    “An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
    —Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)

    “The great object in life is Sensation—to feel that we exist, even though in pain; it is this “craving void” which drives us to gaming, to battle, to travel, to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
