Emphatic State

Famous quotes containing the words emphatic and/or state:

    Over emphatic negatives always suggest that what is being denied may be what is really being asserted.
    Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)

    “Hear me,” he said to the white commander. “I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. Our chiefs are dead; the little children are freezing. My people have no blankets, no food. From where the sun stands, I will fight no more forever.”
