Trail/usage

Famous quotes containing the words trail and/or usage:

“To be thoroughly modern, an aphorism should trail off vaguely rather than coming to a point.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.”
—A.J. (Alfred Jules)
