"“The interlocked conceptual scheme of physical objects, identity, and divided reference is part of the ship which, in Neurath’s figure, we cannot remodel save as we stay afloat in it […] we are not in a position to jettison any part of it, except as we have substitution devices ready to hand” (123-124). Language is not merely referential but an integral medium of beliefs and ontological commitments." — 4 hours, 23 min ago

“The days wear out the months and the months wear out the years, and a flux of moments, like an unquiet tide, eat at the black coast of futurity.”

“Our whole past experience is continually in our consciousness, though most of it sunk to a great depth of dimness. I think of consciousness as a bottomless lake whose waters seem transparent, yet into which we can clearly see but a little way.”
― Charles Sanders Pierce
