Set

Famous quotes containing the word set:

    They roused him with muffins—they roused him with ice—
    They roused him with mustard and cress—
    They roused him with jam and judicious advice—
    They set him conundrums to guess.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    When I married Humphrey I made up my mind to like sermons, and I set out by liking the end very much. That soon spread to the middle and the beginning, because I couldn’t have the end without them.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    If we cannot find a way to interpret the utterances and other behaviour of a creature as revealing a set of beliefs largely consistent and true by our own standards, we have no reason to count that creature as rational, as having beliefs, or as saying anything.
    Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
