Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth. — Virginia Woolf

Bernard Williams has been a distinctive presence on the intellectual scene for more than three decades. . . . His writings do not offer the dubious exhilaration of grand philosophical theory, in which messy reality is tamed and caged, but the thrill of seeing pretension punctured by a kind of high-voltage common sense (backed up by impressive erudition). . . . There is no one in philosophy quite like him. — Colin McGinn
