Famous quotes containing the words decoration and/or allowance:
“The question mark is alright when it is all alone when it
is used as a brand on cattle or when it could be used
in decoration but connected with writing it is
completely entirely completely uninteresting.... A
question is a question, anybody can know that a
question is a question and so why add to it the
question mark when it is already there when the
question is already there in the writing.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Some interests have got a footing on the earth which we have not made sufficient allowance for.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
