Married White

Famous quotes containing the words married and/or white:

    Are we not also married to conscience which we would love to get rid of often enough since it is more bothersome than a man or a woman ever could become?
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    The lore of our fathers is a fabric of sentences. In our hands it develops and changes, through more or less arbitrary and deliberate revisions and additions of our own, more or less directly occasioned by the continuing stimulation of our sense organs. It is a pale gray lore, black with fact and white with convention. But I have found no substantial reasons for concluding that there are any quite black threads in it, or any white ones.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
