Subject

Famous quotes containing the word subject:

“The subject does not belong to the world; rather, it is a limit of the world.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

“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)

“If the world were good for nothing else, it is a fine subject for speculation.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
