Version Entered Service

Famous quotes containing the words version, entered and/or service:

    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)

    Auld Noah was at hame wi’ them a’,
    The lion and the lamb,
    Pair by pair they entered the Ark
    And he took them as they cam’.
    Hugh MacDiarmid (1892–1978)

    This was a great point gained; the archdeacon would certainly not come to morning service at Westminster Abbey, even though he were in London; and here the warden could rest quietly, and, when the time came, duly say his prayers.
    Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
