Famous quotes containing the word spoken:
“Artists broken against her,
Astray, lost in the villages,
Mistrusted, spoken against,
Lovers of beauty, starved,
Thwarted with systems,
Helpless against the control;”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“First it must be known that only a spoken word or a conventional sign is an equivocal or univocal term; therefore a mental content or concept is, strictly speaking, neither equivocal nor univocal.”
—William of Occam (c. 1285–1349)
“The reader uses his eyes as well as or instead of his ears and is in every way encouraged to take a more abstract view of the language he sees. The written or printed sentence lends itself to structural analysis as the spoken does not because the reader’s eye can play back and forth over the words, giving him time to divide the sentence into visually appreciated parts and to reflect on the grammatical function.”
—J. David Bolter (b. 1951)
