It is natural, now, to think of there being connected with a sign (name, combination of words, letter) besides that to which the s...ign refers, which may be called the reference of the sign, also what I should like to call the sense of the sign, wherein the mode of presentation is contained. In our example, accordingly, [an example in which lines a, b, and c all intersect at a single point] the reference of the expressions 'the point of intersection of a and b' and 'the point of intersection of b and c' would be the same, but not their senses. The reference of 'evening star' would be the same as that of 'morning star,' but not the sense.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

A tragedy, then, is the imitation of an action that is serious and also, as having magnitude, complete in itself; in language with... pleasurable accessories, each kind brought in separately in the parts of the work; in a dramatic, not in a narrative form; with incidents arousing pity and fear, wherewith to accomplish its catharsis of such emotions.

All logical truth and all truths that logic can warrant must turn upon meaning in the sense of intension. Because logic and the lo...gically certifiable comprise only such facts as are independent of all particular experience and are capable of being known with certainty merely through clear and cogent thinking. The same must hold of any analytic truth: if it is capable of being known by taking thought about it, then it must be independent of meaning in the sense of extension and turn upon meanings only in the sense of intension.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
The intension of a proposition comprises whatever the proposition entails: and it includes nothing else.... The connotation or int...ension of a function comprises all that attribution of this predicate to anything entails as also predicable to that thing.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

There is no passion more dominant and instinctive in the human spirit than the need of the country to which one belongs.... The ti...me comes when nothing in the world is so important as a breath of one's own particular climate. If it were one's last penny it would be used for that return passage.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
