Famous quotes containing the words compensation and/or case:

“... the compensation for a death sentence is knowledge of the exact hour when one is to die. A great luxury, but one that is well earned.”

“In the case of our main stock of well-worn predicates, I submit that the judgment of projectibility has derived from the habitual projection, rather than the habitual projection from the judgment of projectibility. The reason why only the right predicates happen so luckily to have become well entrenched is just that the well entrenched predicates have thereby become the right ones.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
