Famous quotes containing the word sentences:
“Whatever universe a professor believes in must at any rate be a universe that lends itself to lengthy discourse. A universe definable in two sentences is something for which the professorial intellect has no use. No faith in anything of that cheap kind!”
—William James (1842–1910)
“Certain brief sentences are peerless in their ability to give one the feeling that nothing remains to be said.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)
“The aphorism, the apothegm, in which I am the first among the Germans to be a master, are the forms of “eternity”; it is my ambition to say in ten sentences what everyone else says in a book—what everyone else does not say in a book.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
