Famous quotes containing the words bound and/or variables:
“Brave people add up to an aristocracy. The democracy of thou-shalt-not is bound to be a collection of weak men.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The variables of quantification, ‘something,’ ‘nothing,’ ‘everything,’ range over our whole ontology, whatever it may be; and we are convicted of a particular ontological presupposition if, and only if, the alleged presuppositum has to be reckoned among the entities over which our variables range in order to render one of our affirmations true.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
