“I mean you think about the guy, the Nigerian guy, who was going to blow up the plane. He was wearing a pair of Fruit of the Lunatic. ... Guy was not too bright. He said that the reason he became a suicide bomber was to work his way up in the al Qaeda organization.” ThinkingWayMeanSaidReasonGuyOrganizationSuicideFruitBlowPlanesPairsAlsLunaticAl QaedaBombersSuicide Bombers Author:David Letterman
“It is important to understand what I mean by semiosis. All dynamic action, or action of brute force, physical or psychical, either takes place between two subjects, whether they react equally upon each other, or one is agent and the other patient, entirely or partially, or at any rate is a resultant of such actions between pairs. But by "semiosis" I mean, on the contrary, an action, or influence, which is, or involves, a cooperation of three subjects, such as a sign, its object, and its interpretant, this tri-relative influence not being in any way resolvable into actions between pairs.” WayMeanTwoImportantActionThreeForceInfluenceSubjectsObjectsPatientRateContraryAgentsPairsCooperationRelativeBrutesBrute Force Author:Charles Sanders Peirce
