Famous quotes containing the word sentences:

    He was a tough, burly thick-headed gentleman, with a loud voice, a pompous manner, a tolerable command of sentences with no meaning in them, and, in short, every requisite for a very good member indeed.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    Sentences and paragraphs. Sentences are not emotional but paragraphs are. I can say that as often as I like and it always remains as it is, something that is. I said I found this out first in listening to Basket my dog drinking. And anybody listening to any dog’s drinking will see what I mean.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    Truth is simply a compliment paid to sentences seen to be paying their way.
    Richard Rorty (b. 1931)
