Intentional Suffering

Famous quotes containing the words intentional and/or suffering:

    What makes some internal feature of a thing a representation could only its role in regulating the behavior of an intentional system.
    Daniel Clement Dennett (b. 1942)

    My father and I were always on the most distant terms when I was a boy—a sort of armed neutrality, so to speak. At irregular intervals this neutrality was broken, and suffering ensued; but I will be candid enough to say that the breaking and the suffering were always divided up with strict impartiality between us—which is to say, my father did the breaking, and I did the suffering.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
