Grammatical Subject

Famous quotes containing the words grammatical and/or subject:

“Speech and prose are not the same thing. They have different wave-lengths, for speech moves at the speed of light, where prose moves at the speed of the alphabet, and must be consecutive and grammatical and word-perfect. Prose cannot gesticulate. Speech can sometimes do nothing more.”
—James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)

“People love pretty much the same things best. A writer looking for subject inquires not after what he loves best, but after what he alone loves at all.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
