Famous quotes containing the word type:

    Are God and Nature then at strife,
    That Nature lends such evil dreams?
    So careful of the type she seems,
    So careless of the single life;
    Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    Chicago—is—oh well a façade of skyscrapers facing a lake, and behind the façade every type of dubiousness.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    The real American type can never be a ballet dancer. The legs are too long, the body too supple and the spirit too free for this school of affected grace and toe walking.
    Isadora Duncan (1878–1927)
