Language/structure

Famous quotes containing the words language and/or structure:

“It’s not that we want the political jobs themselves ... but they seem to be the only language the men understand. We don’t really want these $200 a year jobs. But the average man doesn’t understand working for a cause.”
—Jennie Carolyn Van Ness (b. c. 1890–?)

“A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
