Willard Van Orman Quine

:"How can we talk about Pegasus? To what does the word 'Pegasus' refer?

Certainly when we said that Pegasus was a mythological winged horse we make sense, and moreover we speak the truth! If we speak the truth, this must be truth about something. So we cannot be speaking of nothing."
