Bogan/usage

Famous quotes containing the words bogan and/or usage:

    They hear in every whisper that speaks to them
    A shout and a cry.
    As like as not, when they take life over their door-sills
    They should let it go by.
    —Louise Bogan (1897–1970)

    I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.
    —A.J. (Alfred Jules)
