                   "If pressed to supplement Tweedledee's ostensive 
                   definition of logic with a discursive definition 
                 of the same subject, I would say that logic is the 
           systematic study of the logical truths. Pressed further,
               I would say that a sentence is logically true if all 
                 sentences with its grammatical structure are true. 
             Pressed further still, I would say to read this book."
                -- Willard Van Orman Quine, Philosophy of logic, xi
