Famous quotes containing the words meanings and/or word:

    “The first green night of their dreaming, asleep beneath the Tree,/God said, “Let meanings move,” and there was poetry.”
    —Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    “There is that in me—I do not know what it is—but I know it is in me ...
    I do not know it—it is without name—it is a word unsaid,
    It is not in any dictionary, utterance, symbol ...
    Do you see O my brothers and sisters?
    It is not chaos or death—it is form, union, plan—it is eternal life—it is Happiness.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
