Famous quotes containing the words grammatical and/or subject:

“Evil is simply
a grammatical error:
a failure to leap
the precipice
between “he”
and “I.””

“It is a necessary condition of one’s ascribing states of consciousness, experiences, to oneself, in the way one does, that one should also ascribe them, or be prepared to ascribe them, to others who are not oneself.... The ascribing phrases are used in just the same sense when the subject is another as when the subject is oneself.”
—Sir Peter Frederick Strawson (b. 1919)
