Famous quotes containing the word description:

    “God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
    —Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)
