Famous quotes containing the words defined and/or terms:

    “For a large class of cases—though not for all—in which we employ the word “meaning” it can be defined thus: the meaning of a word is its use in the language.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    “My father and I were always on the most distant terms when I was a boy—a sort of armed neutrality, so to speak. At irregular intervals this neutrality was broken, and suffering ensued; but I will be candid enough to say that the breaking and the suffering were always divided up with strict impartiality between us—which is to say, my father did the breaking, and I did the suffering.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
