  1. "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
