Start Position

Famous quotes containing the words start and/or position:

“It’s a funny thing about men, you know. They all start life being boys. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these senators were boys once.”
—Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)

“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)
