I'm reminded of Willard Van Orman Quine

It is reputed that at one point someone quoted to him the line from Hamlet -- "there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy" -- and that Quine said, "I'm trying to ensure that there are not more things in my philosophy than in heaven and earth".
