Famous quotes containing the word meaning:

    The meaning of today will not be clear until tomorrow.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    What do you want meaning for? Life is desire, not meaning!
    Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)
