Logically Proper Names

Famous quotes containing the words logically, proper and/or names:

    The concept of a person is logically prior to that of an individual consciousness. The concept of a person is not to be analysed as that of an animated body or an embodied anima.
    Sir Peter Frederick Strawson (b. 1919)

    A decent chap, a real good sort,
    Straight as a die, one of the best,
    A brick, a trump, a proper sport,
    Head and shoulders above the rest;
    How many lives would have been duller
    Had he not been here below?
    Here’s to the whitest man I know
    Though white is not my favourite colour.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    Almanacked, their names live; they
    Have slipped their names, and stand at ease,
    Or gallop for what must be joy,
    Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
