Original Proposition

Famous quotes containing the words original and/or proposition:

    All nationalisms are at heart deeply concerned with names: with the most immaterial and original human invention. Those who dismiss names as a detail have never been displaced; but the peoples on the peripheries are always being displaced. That is why they insist upon their continuity—their links with their dead and the unborn.
    John Berger (b. 1926)

    A propositional sign, applied and thought out, is a thought. A thought is a proposition with a sense.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
