Arnold Van Keppel

Famous quotes containing the words arnold and/or van:

    Unbreachable the fort
    Of the long-batter’d world uplifts its wall;
    And strange and vain the earthly turmoil grows,
    And near and real the charm of thy repose,
    And night as welcome as a friend would fall.
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    For my part I do, qua lay physicist, believe in physical objects and not in Homer’s gods; and I consider it a scientific error to believe otherwise.
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
