Stated Proposition

Famous quotes containing the words stated and/or proposition:

    If we do take statements to be the primary bearers of truth, there seems to be a very simple answer to the question, what is it for them to be true: for a statement to be true is for things to be as they are stated to be.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane human being has ever given his assent.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
