Famous quotes containing the word dos:

    “It is part of the nature of consciousness, of how the mental apparatus works, that free reason is only a very occasional function of people’s “thinking” and that much of the process is made of reactions as standardized as those of the keys on a typewriter.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
