Famous quotes containing the word sentence:
“Male supremacy is fused into the language, so that every sentence both heralds and affirms it.”
—Andrea Dworkin (b. 1946)
“In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
