—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“...Often the accurate answer to a usage question begins, “It depends.” And what it depends on most often is where you are, who you are, who your listeners or readers are, and what your purpose in speaking or writing is.”
—Kenneth G. Wilson (b. 1923)
“We already have the statistics for the future: the growth percentages of pollution, overpopulation, desertification. The future is already in place.”
