Famous quotes containing the words small and/or boat:
“Little-minded peoples thoughts move in such small circles that five minutes conversation gives you an arc long enough to determine their whole curve.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (18091894)
“My position is a naturalistic one; I see philosophy not as an a priori propaedeutic or groundwork for science, but as continuous with science. I see philosophy and science as in the same boata boat which, to revert to Neuraths figure as I so often do, we can rebuild only at sea while staying afloat in it. There is no external vantage point, no first philosophy.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
