Famous quotes containing the words sentence and/or imposed:
“A sentence should read as if its author, had he held a plow instead of a pen, could have drawn a furrow deep and straight to the end.”

“We will not be imposed upon by this vast application of forces. We believe that most things will have to be accomplished still by the application called Industry. We are rather pleased, after all, to consider the small private, but both constant and accumulated, force which stands behind every spade in the field. This it is that makes the valleys shine, and the deserts really bloom.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
