Famous quotes containing the words tin and/or version:
“J.P. Harrah: What the hell are you doin’ here?
Cole: I’m lookin’ at a tin star with a drunk pinned on it.”
—Leigh Brackett (1915–1978)
“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)
