Famous quotes containing the word composition:

    “Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “At painful times, when composition is impossible and reading is not enough, grammars and dictionaries are excellent for distraction.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “When I think of God, when I think of him as existent, and when I believe him to be existent, my idea of him neither increases nor diminishes. But as it is certain there is a great difference betwixt the simple conception of the existence of an object, and the belief of it, and as this difference lies not in the parts or composition of the idea which we conceive; it follows, that it must lie in the manner in which we conceive it.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)
