Famous quotes containing the word permitting:

    Let us be cautious in making assertions and critical in examining them, but tolerant in permitting linguistic forms.
    Rudolf Carnap (1891–1970)

    I will not adopt that ungenerous and impolitic custom so common with novel writers, of degrading by their contemptuous censure the very performances, to the number of which they are themselves adding—joining with their greatest enemies in bestowing the harshest epithets on such works, and scarcely ever permitting them to be read by their own heroine, who, if she accidentally take up a novel, is sure to turn over its insipid leaves with disgust.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    God never jests with us, and will not compromise the end of nature, by permitting any inconsequence in its procession.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
