Small Boat

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or boat:

    “Methought her long, small legs and thighs
    I with my tendrils did surprise;
    Her belly, buttocks, and her waist
    By my soft nervelets were embraced;”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    “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 boat—a boat which, to revert to Neurath’s 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)
