“It really is a nice theory. The only defect I think it has is probably common to all philosophical theories. It's wrong. You may suspect me of proposing another theory in its place; but I hope not, because I'm sure it's wrong too if it is a theory.”
Saul Kripke

“The relation of meaning and intention to future action is normative, not descriptive.”
Saul Kripke

“I don't have the prejudices many have today. I don't believe in a naturalist worldview. I don't base my thinking on prejudices or a worldview and do not believe in materialism”
Saul Kripke
