Famous quotes containing the word agree:
“Clarity is of no importance because nobody listens and
nobody knows what you mean no matter what you mean,
nor how clearly you mean what you mean. But if you
have vitality enough of knowing enough of what you
mean, somebody and sometime and sometimes a great
many will have to realize that you know what you mean
and so they will agree that you mean what you know,
what you know you mean, which is as near as anybody
can come to understanding any one.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Nothing can save us from a perpetual headlong fall into a bottomless abyss but a solid footing of dogma; and we no sooner agree to that than we find that the only trustworthy dogma is that there is no dogma.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“‘Tis a strange thing, Sam, that among us people can’t agree the whole week, because they go different ways upon Sundays.”
—George Farquhar (1678–1707)
