Meaning

Famous quotes containing the word meaning:

    Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    To help, to continually help and share, that is the sum of all knowledge; that is the meaning of art.
    Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)

    I begin, then, with some remarks about ‘the meaning of a word.’ I think many persons now see all or part of what I shall say: but not all do, and there is a tendency to forget, or to get it slightly wrong. In so far as I am merely flogging the converted, I apologize to them.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)
