Version Called

Famous quotes containing the words version and/or called:

“Truth cannot be defined or tested by agreement with ‘the world’; for not only do truths differ for different worlds but the nature of agreement between a world apart from it is notoriously nebulous. Rather—speaking loosely and without trying to answer either Pilate’s question or Tarski’s—a version is to be taken to be true when it offends no unyielding beliefs and none of its own precepts.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)

“The world, which the Greeks called Beauty, has been made such by being gradually divested of every ornament which was not fitted to endure.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
