Famous quotes containing the word exhibits:

    “It exhibits the effort of an essentially prosaic mind to lift itself, by a prolonged muscular strain, into poetry.”
    —Henry James (1843–1916)

    “After all the field of battle possesses many advantages over the drawing-room. There at least is no room for pretension or excessive ceremony, no shaking of hands or rubbing of noses, which make one doubt your sincerity, but hearty as well as hard hand-play. It at least exhibits one of the faces of humanity, the former only a mask.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Uncritical semantics is the myth of a museum in which the exhibits are meanings and the words are labels. To switch languages is to change the labels.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
