Famous quotes containing the words significant and/or persons:

    You gave me a significant look, but significant of what?
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    I begin, then, with some remarks about ‘the meaning of a word.’ I think many persons now see all or part of what I shall say: but not all do, and there is a tendency to forget, or to get it slightly wrong. In so far as I am merely flogging the converted, I apologize to them.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)
