Meant

Famous quotes containing the word meant:

“As they wend away
A voice is heard singing
Of Kitty, or Katy,
As if the name meant once
All love, all beauty.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“The writer probably knows what he meant when he wrote a book, but he should immediately forget what he meant when he’s written it.”
—William Golding (b. 1911)

“Even in my own writings I cannot always recover the meaning of my former ideas; I know not what I meant to say, and often get into a regular heat, correcting and putting a new sense into it, having lost the first and better one. I do nothing but come and go. My judgement does not always forge straight ahead; it strays and wanders.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
