True Reachable Propositions

Famous quotes containing the words true and/or propositions:

    The only question which any wise man can ask himself, and which any honest man will ask himself, is whether a doctrine is true or false.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    Dogmatic theological statements are neither logical propositions nor poetic utterances. They are “shaggy dog” stories; they have a point, but he who tries too hard to get it will miss it.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
