Famous quotes containing the words common and/or chameleon:
“You common people of the skies,
What are you when the moon doth rise?”
—Sir Henry Wotton (1568–1639)
“... ideals, standards, aspirations,—those are chameleon words, and take color from their speakers,—often false tints. A scholarly man of my acquaintance once told me that he traveled a thousand miles into the desert to get away from the word uplift, and it was the first word he heard after he reached his destination.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
