Longer Range Version

Famous quotes containing the words longer, range and/or version:

    Oh, how sweet it is to pity the fate of an enemy who can no longer threaten us!
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

    Lord Bateman prepared for another marriage,
    So both their hearts so full of glee.
    ‘I will range no more to foreign countries
    Now since Sophia have a-crossed the sea.’
    Unknown. Young Beichan (l. 81–84)

    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)
