Famous quotes containing the word claim:
“What I claim is to live to the full the contradiction of my time, which may well make sarcasm the condition of truth.”
—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“We are not a nation, so much as a world; for unless we claim all the world for our sire, like Melchisedec, we are without father or mother.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Certainly ordinary language has no claim to be the last word, if there is such a thing. It embodies, indeed, something better than the metaphysics of the Stone Age, namely, as was said, the inherited experience and acumen of many generations of men.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
