Famous quotes containing the words adverb and/or phrase:
“You expect far too much of a first sentence. Think of it as analogous to a good country breakfast: what we want is something simple, but nourishing to the imagination. Hold the philosophy, hold the adjectives, just give us a plain subject and verb and perhaps a wholesome, nonfattening adverb or two.”
—Larry McMurtry (b. 1936)
“And what, then, is belief? It is the demi-cadence which closes a musical phrase in the symphony of our intellectual life.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
