Famous quotes containing the words hub and/or van:
“There is no object so soft but it makes a hub for the wheel’d universe.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“To call a posit a posit is not to patronize it. A posit can be unavoidable except at the cost of other no less artificial expedients. Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
