Express Propositions

Famous quotes containing the words express and/or propositions:

“I have no other pictures of the world apart from those which express evanescence, and callousness, vanity and anger, emptiness, or hideous useless hate. Everything has merely confirmed what I had seen and understood in my childhood: futile and sordid fits of rage, cries suddenly blanketed by the silence, shadows swallowed up for ever by the night.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)

“In fact, of course, I hold that propositions that contemporary
philosophers would properly count as ‘empirical’ can be necessary and be known to be such.”
—Saul Kripke (b. 1940)
