Analytic Proposition

Famous quotes containing the words analytic and/or proposition:

““You, that have not lived in thought but deed,
Can have the purity of a natural force,
But I, whose virtues are the definitions
Of the analytic mind, can neither close
The eye of the mind nor keep my tongue from speech.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“A propositional sign, applied and thought out, is a thought. A thought is a proposition with a sense.”
