Famous quotes containing the word van:
“The line that I am urging as todays conventional wisdom is not a denial of consciousness. It is often called, with more reason, a repudiation of mind. It is indeed a repudiation of mind as a second substance, over and above body. It can be described less harshly as an identification of mind with some of the faculties, states, and activities of the body. Mental states and events are a special subclass of the states and events of the human or animal body.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“[W]ith them well beat little Van, Van, Van is a used up man.”
—State of Indiana, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“There is but one Paris and however hard living may be here, and if it became worse and harder eventhe French air clears up the brain and does gooda world of good.”
—Vincent Van Gogh (18531890)
