Rose Stated

Famous quotes containing the words rose and/or stated:

    But earthlier happy is the rose distilled
    Than that which, withering on the virgin thorn,
    Grows, lives, and dies in single blessedness.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If we do take statements to be the primary bearers of truth, there seems to be a very simple answer to the question, what is it for them to be true: for a statement to be true is for things to be as they are stated to be.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)
