“Treating water as a name of a single scattered object is not intended to enable us to dispense with general terms and plurality of reference. Scatter is in fact an inconsequential detail.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Such is the labor which the American Congress exists to protect,honest, manly toil,honest as the day is long,that makes his bread taste sweet, and keeps society sweet,which all men respect and have consecrated; one of the sacred band, doing the needful but irksome drudgery.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
