Famous quotes containing the words long and/or range:
“Now you rise,
a city from the sea,
born long before Alexandria was,
straightway from God you have come
into your redeeming skin.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The variables of quantification, ‘something,’ ‘nothing,’ ‘everything,’ range over our whole ontology, whatever it may be; and we are convicted of a particular ontological presupposition if, and only if, the alleged presuppositum has to be reckoned among the entities over which our variables range in order to render one of our affirmations true.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
