Famous quotes containing the word method:
“Women stand related to beautiful nature around us, and the enamoured youth mixes their form with moon and stars, with woods and waters, and the pomp of summer. They heal us of awkwardness by their words and looks. We observe their intellectual influence on the most serious student. They refine and clear his mind: teach him to put a pleasing method into what is dry and difficult.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“You know, I have a method all my own. If youll notice, the coat came first, then the tie, then the shirt. Now, according to Hoyle, after that the pants should be next. Theres where Im different. I go for the shoes next. First the right, then the left. After that, its every man for himself.”
—Robert Riskin (18971955)
“You that do search for every purling spring
Which from the ribs of old Parnassus flows,
And every flower, not sweet perhaps, which grows
Near thereabouts into your poesy wring;
You that do dictionarys method bring
Into your rhymes, running in rattling rows;”
—Sir Philip Sidney (15541586)
