Grammatical Rules

Famous quotes containing the words grammatical and/or rules:

    Figure him there, with his scrofulous diseases, with his great greedy heart, and unspeakable chaos of thoughts; stalking mournful as a stranger in this Earth; eagerly devouring what spiritual thing he could come at: school-languages and other merely grammatical stuff, if there were nothing better! The largest soul that was in all England.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    A scholar, in his Segmenta, left a note,
    As follows, “The Ruler of Reality,
    If more unreal than New Haven, is not
    A real ruler, but rules what is unreal.”
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
