Orman

Famous quotes containing the word orman:

    Scientific method is the way to truth, but it affords, even in
    principle, no unique definition of truth. Any so-called pragmatic
    definition of truth is doomed to failure equally.
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    A curious thing about the ontological problem is its simplicity. It can be put in three Anglo-Saxon monosyllables: ‘What is there?’ It can be answered, moveover, in a word—‘Everything.’
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    We do not learn first what to talk about and then what to say about it.
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
