Famous quotes containing the words common and/or meanings:

    “A person of definite character and purpose who comprehends our way of thought is sure to exert power over us. He cannot altogether be resisted; because, if he understands us, he can make us understand him, through the word, the look, or other symbol, which both of us connect with the common sentiment or idea; and thus by communicating an impulse he can move the will.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “Well, “slithy” means “lithe and slimy.” “Lithe” is the same as “active.” You see, it’s like a portmanteau—there are two meanings packed up into one word.”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
