More From Willard Van Orman Quine

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.

Ecclesiastes names thee almighty, the maccabees name thee creator, the epistle to the ephesians names thee liberty, baruch names thee immensity, the psalms name thee wisdom and truth, john names thee light, the book of kings names thee lord, exodus names thee providence, leviticus sanctity, esdras justice, creation names thee god, man names thee father; but solomon names thee compassion, which is the most beautiful of all thy names.

Today's uncle tom doesn't wear a handkerchief on his head. this modern, twentieth-century uncle thomas now often wears a top hat. he's usually well-dressed and well-educated. he's often the personification of culture and refinement. the twentieth-century uncle thomas sometimes speaks with a yale or harvard accent. sometimes he is known as professor, doctor, judge, and reverend, even right reverend doctor. this twentieth-century uncle thomas is a professional negro -by that i mean his profession is being a negro for the white man.

The humanities and science are not in inherent conflict but have become separated in the twentieth century. now their essential unity must be re-emphasized, so that twentieth-century multiplicity may become twentieth-century unity.
Humanity Unity Essentials
A lot of fantasy names are too much. they’re too difficult to pronounce. i wanted the flavour of medieval england. i took actual names we still use today, like ‘robert’, and in some case i tweaked them a little bit. i made ‘edward’ into ‘eddard’. if you look back at medieval times, no one knew how to spell their own names. there are a lot of variations that we’ve lost.
Names Looks Use
Democracy cannot survive where there is such uniformity that everyone wears exactly the same intellectual uniform or point of view. democracy implies diversity of outlook, a variety of points of view on politics, economics, and world affairs. hence the educational ideal is not uniformity but unity, for unity allows diversity of points of view regarding the good means to a good end.

Educational exchange can turn nations into people, contributing as no other form of communication can to the humanizing of international relations. man's capacity for decent behavior seems to vary directly with his perception of others as individual humans with human motives and feelings, whereas his capacity for barbarism seems related to his perception of an adversary in abstract terms, as the embodiment, that is, of some evil design or ideology.

First of all, i hated the medical profession. medical education in egypt was taken from the british, french, colonial educational system. and it's very, very lacking - there is no sexology. i never read the word clitoris in any medical book when i was educated.
