Case

Famous quotes containing the word case:

    “The definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places; of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places. The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    “Television is an excellent system when one has nothing to lose, as is the case with a nomadic and rootless country like the United States, but in Europe the affect of television is that of a bulldozer which reduces culture to the lowest possible denominator.”
    —Marc Fumaroli (b. 1932)

    “One thing in any case is certain: man is neither the oldest nor the most constant problem that has been posed for human knowledge.”
    —Michel Foucault (1926–1984)
