I've Been Thinking Quotes

“Dan believes modesty is a virtue to be reserved for special occasions.”)”
― Daniel C. Dennett, I've Been Thinking

“whenever you see the word “surely,” a little bell should ring—ding!—and you should pause to scrutinize what follows, since this is typically the weakest spot in the author’s case.

― Daniel C. Dennett, I've Been Thinking
