Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or hat:
“BOSWELL ... Is not the fear of death natural to man? JOHNSON. So much so, Sir, that the whole of life is but keeping away the thought of it.”
—Samuel Johnson (17091784)
“Jargon is the verbal sleight of hand that makes the old hat seem newly fashionable; it gives an air of novelty and specious profundity to ideas that, if stated directly, would seem superficial, stale, frivolous, or false. The line between serious and spurious scholarship is an easy one to blur, with jargon on your side.”
—David Lehman (b. 1948)
