Famous quotes containing the word contents:
“If one reads a newspaper only for information, one does not learn the truth, not even the truth about the paper. The truth is that the newspaper is not a statement of contents but the contents themselves; and more than that, it is an instigator.”
—Karl Kraus (18741936)
“To be, contents his natural desire;
He asks no Angels wing, no Seraphs fire;
But thinks, admitted to that equal sky,
His faithful dog shall bear him company.”
—Alexander Pope (16881744)
“Such as boxed
Their feelings properly, complete to tags
A box for dark men and a box for Other
Would often find the contents had been scrambled.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
