Famous quotes containing the word expression:

    The fact is, the public make use of the classics of a country as a means of checking the progress of Art. They degrade the classics into authorities. They use them as bludgeons for preventing the free expression of Beauty in new forms.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    ... language is meaningful because it is the expression of thoughts—of thoughts which are about something.
    Roderick M. Chisholm (b. 1916)
