Famous quotes containing the words ground and/or based:
“A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. It addresses somebody, that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. That sign which it creates I call the interpretant of the first sign. The sign stands for something, its object. It stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which I have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (18391914)
“In tennis, at the end of the day youre a winner or a loser. You know exactly where you stand.... I dont need that anymore. I dont need my happiness, my well-being, to be based on winning and losing.”
—Chris Evert (b. 1954)
