Power Boat

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or boat:

“What wouldst thou do, old man?
Think’st thou that duty shall have dread to speak
When power to flattery bows?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“My position is a naturalistic one; I see philosophy not as an a priori propaedeutic or groundwork for science, but as continuous with science. I see philosophy and science as in the same boat—a boat which, to revert to Neurath’s figure as I so often do, we can rebuild only at sea while staying afloat in it. There is no external vantage point, no first philosophy.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
