“It is surely a matter of common observation that a man who knows no one thing intimately has no views worth hearing on things in general. The farmer philosophizes in terms of crops, soils, markets, and implements, the mechanic generalizes his experiences of wood and iron, the seaman reaches similar conclusions by his own special road; and if the scholar keeps pace with these it must be by an equally virile productivity.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (18641929)
“... in doing our psychology, we want to attribute mental states fully opaquely because its the fully opaque reading which tells us what the agent has in mind, and its what the agent has in mind that causes his behavior.”
—Jerry Alan Fodor (b. 1935)
“I cant hide it any longer. I love you. Its the old story, boy meets girlRomeo and JulietMinneapolis and St. Paul!”
—Robert Pirosh, U.S. screenwriter, George Seaton, George Oppenheimer, and Sam Wood. Dr. Hugo Z. Hackenbush (Groucho Marx)
