Claim Status

Famous quotes containing the words claim and/or status:

“The dominant metaphor of conceptual relativism, that of differing points of view, seems to betray an underlying paradox. Different points of view make sense, but only if there is a common co-ordinate system on which to plot them; yet the existence of a common system belies the claim of dramatic incomparability.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)

“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
