"English general and singular terms, identity, quantification, and the whole bag of
ontological
tricks may be correlated with elements of the native language in any of various mutually incompatible ways, each compatible with all possible linguistic data, and none preferable to another save as favored by a rationalization of the native language that is simple and natural to us."
-Willard Van Orman Quine
