Famous quotes containing the words jimmy and/or van:

    You’re so sly and so am I.
    Michael Mann, U.S. screenwriter. Jimmy Price (Dan E. Butler)

    The totality of our so-called knowledge or beliefs, from the most casual matters of geography and history to the profoundest laws of atomic physics or even of pure mathematics and logic, is a man-made fabric which impinges on experience only along the edges. Or, to change the figure, total science is like a field of force whose boundary conditions are experience.
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
