Famous quotes containing the words life, sentence and/or treason:

    “In every woman’s life there is one real and consuming love. But very few women guess which one it is.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “The reader uses his eyes as well as or instead of his ears and is in every way encouraged to take a more abstract view of the language he sees. The written or printed sentence lends itself to structural analysis as the spoken does not because the reader’s eye can play back and forth over the words, giving him time to divide the sentence into visually appreciated parts and to reflect on the grammatical function.”
    —J. David Bolter (b. 1951)

    “Our kinsman Gloucester is as innocent
    From meaning treason to our royal person
    As is the sucking lamb or harmless dove.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
