Person Subject

Famous quotes containing the words person and/or subject:

    A person far from home is not valued highly, but goods imported from afar are.
    Chinese proverb.

    You expect far too much of a first sentence. Think of it as analogous to a good country breakfast: what we want is something simple, but nourishing to the imagination. Hold the philosophy, hold the adjectives, just give us a plain subject and verb and perhaps a wholesome, nonfattening adverb or two.
    Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)
