Simple Propositions

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or propositions:

“a mind
That nobleness made simple as a fire,
With beauty like a tightened bow,”

“We want in every man a long logic; we cannot pardon the absence of it, but it must not be spoken. Logic is the procession or proportionate unfolding of the intuition; but its virtue is as silent method; the moment it would appear as propositions and have a separate value, it is worthless.”
