Van Het Reve

Famous quotes containing the words van and/or reve:

“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)

“The reve was a sclendre colerik man.
His berd was shave as ny as ever he kan.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
