Horizontal Position

Famous quotes containing the words horizontal and/or position:

    “And yet out of eternity, a thread
    separates itself on the blackness,
    a horizontal thread
    that fumes a little with pallor upon the dark.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “My position is a naturalistic one; I see philosophy not as an a priori propaedeutic or groundwork for science, but as continuous with science. I see philosophy and science as in the same boat—a boat which, to revert to Neurath’s figure as I so often do, we can rebuild only at sea while staying afloat in it. There is no external vantage point, no first philosophy.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
