Distant Worlds

Famous quotes containing the words distant and/or worlds:

“Adventure is making the distant approach nearer
but romance is having what is where it is which is not
where you are stay where it is.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
