Famous quotes containing the words van and/or wrote:
“An indirect quotation we can usually expect to rate only as better or worse, more or less faithful, and we cannot even hope for a strict standard of more and less; what is involved is evaluation, relative to special purposes, of an essentially dramatic act.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“The writer probably knows what he meant when he wrote a book, but he should immediately forget what he meant when he’s written it.”
