Famous quotes containing the words van and/or leer:
“Linguistically, and hence conceptually, the things in sharpest focus are the things that are public enough to be talked of publicly, common and conspicuous enough to be talked of often, and near enough to sense to be quickly identified and learned by name; it is to these that words apply first and foremost.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“Don’t leer at him
with half-glances.
Look at him naturally,
so you can see him well.
That way,
you’ll be taken for a virgin.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
