Famous quotes containing the words true and/or position:

“Whoever the last true cowboy in America turns out to be, he’s likely to be an Indian.”
—William Least Heat Moon [William Trogdon] (b. 1939)

“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)
