Kick Line

Famous quotes containing the words kick and/or line:

    I have come, Sire, to complain of one of your subjects who has been so audacious as to kick me in the belly.
    Marie Antoinette (1755–1793)

    The line that I am urging as today’s conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, a repudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body. It can be described less harshly as an identification of mind with some of the faculties, states, and activities of the body. Mental states and events are a special subclass of the states and events of the human or animal body.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
