Famous quotes containing the word expression:

    I fear chiefly lest my expression may not be extra-vagant enough, may not wander far enough beyond the narrow limits of my daily experience, so as to be adequate to the truth of which I have been convinced.

    All expression of truth does at length take this deep ethical form.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
