Famous quotes containing the word meanings:

    “The first green night of their dreaming, asleep beneath the Tree,/God said, “Let meanings move,” and there was poetry.”
    —Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    “You can’t write about people out of textbooks, and you can’t use jargon. You have to speak clearly and simply and purely in a language that a six-year-old child can understand; and yet have the meanings and the overtones of language, and the implications, that appeal to the highest intelligence.”
    —Katherine Anne Porter (1890–1980)
