Hard Usage

Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or usage:

    Woman and fool are two hard things to hit,
    For true no-meaning puzzles more than wit.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.
    —A.J. (Alfred Jules)
