Kinds

Famous quotes containing the word kinds:

“We need two kinds of acquaintances, one to complain to, while to the others we boast.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)

“In fact, words are well adapted for description and the arousing of emotion, but for many kinds of precise thought other symbols are much better.”
—J.B.S. (John Burdon Sanderson)

“We have two kinds of “conference.” One is that to which the office boy refers when he tells the applicant for a job that Mr. Blevitch is “in conference.” This means that Mr. Blevitch is in good health and reading the paper, but otherwise unoccupied. The other type of “conference” is bona fide in so far as it implies that three or four men are talking together in one room, and don’t want to be disturbed.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
