Famous quotes containing the words early, humorous and/or reference:

    Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.
    Andre Maurois (1885–1967)

    “Nor should she be too rich, because the rich
    Are driven by wealth as beggars by the itch,”
    Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
    “And cannot have a humorous happy speech.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    If we define a sign as an exact reference, it must include symbol because a symbol is an exact reference too. The difference seems to be that a sign is an exact reference to something definite and a symbol an exact reference to something indefinite.
    William York Tindall (1903–1981)
