Stars Represent

Famous quotes containing the words stars and/or represent:

    And yet with neither love nor hate,
    Those stars like some snow-white
    Minerva’s snow-white marble eyes
    Without the gift of sight.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The trouble is that the expression ‘material thing’ is functioning already, from the very beginning, simply as a foil for ‘sense-datum’; it is not here given, and is never given, any other role to play, and apart from this consideration it would surely never have occurred to anybody to try to represent as some single kind of things the things which the ordinary man says that he ‘perceives.’
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)
