"I’m going to be concerned with rabbits, instances of rabbithood, wholes of rabbit parts, and sequences of rabbit events, in the course of my discussion. It’s interesting to note, of course, that Quine construes the situation as one in which entities are to be countenanced or not. We reject them, we discount them, we turn our faces away from them so to speak, like the Lord turning his face away from somebody. Quine turns his face away from attributes and states of affairs, and on the other hand, Quine turns his countenance on classes and classes of classes. As a matter of fact, Quine toys with the idea that one’s ontology might consist of classes and indeed of numbers… Pythagoreanism coming once again to the front." — Sellars, *The Notre Dame Lectures*, p. 89
