Famous quotes containing the word phrases:

    It is a necessary condition of one’s ascribing states of consciousness, experiences, to oneself, in the way one does, that one should also ascribe them, or be prepared to ascribe them, to others who are not oneself.... The ascribing phrases are used in just the same sense when the subject is another as when the subject is oneself.
    Sir Peter Frederick Strawson (b. 1919)

    And would you be a poet
    Before you’ve been to school?
    Ah, well! I hardly thought you
    So absolute a fool.
    First learn to be spasmodic—
    A very simple rule.
    For first you write a sentence,
    And then you chop it small;
    Then mix the bits, and sort them out
    Just as they chance to fall:
    The order of the phrases makes
    No difference at all.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
