Famous quotes containing the words sample, words and/or phrases:

    “All that a city will ever allow you is an angle on it—an oblique, indirect sample of what it contains, or what passes through it; a point of view.”
    —Peter Conrad (b. 1948)

    “If we divine a discrepancy between a man’s words and his character, the whole impression of him becomes broken and painful; he revolts the imagination by his lack of unity, and even the good in him is hardly accepted.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “A man in all the world’s new fashion planted,
    That hath a mint of phrases in his brain.
    One who the music of his own vain tongue
    Doth ravish like enchanting harmony.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
