Stated Proposition

Famous quotes containing the words stated and/or proposition:

“The necessity of poetry has to be stated over and over, but only to those who have reason to fear its power, or those who still believe that language is “only words” and that an old language is good enough for our descriptions of the world we are trying to transform.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

“A propositional sign, applied and thought out, is a thought. A thought is a proposition with a sense.”
