Famous quotes containing the word sole:

“We now demand the light artillery of the intellect; we need the curt, the condensed, the pointed, the readily diffused—in place of the verbose, the detailed, the voluminous, the inaccessible. On the other hand, the lightness of the artillery should not degenerate into pop-gunnery—by which term we may designate the character of the greater portion of the newspaper press—their sole legitimate object being the discussion of ephemeral matters in an ephemeral manner.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)

“Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)

“The most Christian France is the sole wet-nurse to the Roman court.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
