Winning Boat

Famous quotes containing the words winning and/or boat:

    You with a bad coin in your socket,
    You my friend there with a winning air
    Who palmed the lie on me when you looked
    Brassily at my shyest secret ...
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    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)
