Van Wart

Famous quotes containing the words van and/or wart:

    Some have said that the thesis [of indeterminacy] is a consequence of my behaviorism. Some have said that it is a reductio ad absurdum of my behaviorism. I disagree with this second point, but I agree with the first. I hold further that the behaviorism approach is mandatory. In psychology one may or may not be a behaviorist, but in linguistics one has no choice.
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    That which shows God in me, fortifies me. That which shows God out of me, makes me a wart and a wen.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
