Logically Proper Names

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

    Our argument ... will result, not upon logic by itself—though without logic we should never have got to this point—but upon the fortunate contingent fact that people who would take this logically possible view, after they had really imagined themselves in the other man’s position, are extremely rare.
    Richard M. Hare (b. 1919)

    But the difficultest go to understand,
    And the difficultest job a man can do,
    Is to come it brave and meek with thirty bob a week,
    And feel that that’s the proper thing for you.
    John Davidson (1857–1909)

    The names of all fine authors are fictitious ones, far more so than that of Junius,—simply standing, as they do, for the mystical, ever-eluding Spirit of all Beauty, which ubiquitously possesses men of genius.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
