Grammatical Subject

Famous quotes containing the words grammatical and/or subject:

    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)

    Order is Heaven’s first law; and this confessed,
    Some are, and must be, greater than the rest,
    More rich, more wise; but who infers from hence
    That such are happier, shocks all common sense.
    Condition, circumstance, is not the thing;
    Bliss is the same in subject or in king.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
