For a sensation to be felt as pain is for it to be pain

I just hate sitting and writing - I had to do that in school. Plus, I have terrible handwriting.

Logical investigations can obviously be a useful tool for philosophy. They must, however, be informed by a sensitivity to the philosophical significance of the formalism and by a generous admixture of common sense, as well as a thorough understanding both of the basic concepts and of the technical details of the formal material used. It should not be supposed that the formalism can grind out philosophical results in a manner beyond the capacity of ordinary philosophical reasoning. There is no mathematical substitute for philosophy.

Certainly the philosopher of 'possible worlds' must take care that his technical apparatus not push him to ask questions whose meaningfulness is not supported by our original intuitions of possibility that gave the apparatus its point.

Any necessary truth, whether a priori or a posteriori, could not have turned out otherwise

I wish I could have skipped college.

Proper names are rigid designators.
