``Any philosophic explanation of Quality is going to be both false and true
precisely because it is a philosophic explanation. The process of philosophic
explanation is an analytic process, a process of breaking something down into
subjects and predicates. What I mean (and everybody else means) by the word
quality cannot be broken down into subjects and predicates. This is not because
Quality is so mysterious but because Quality is so simple, immediate and direct.
