Indefinite Language

Famous quotes containing the words indefinite and/or language:

    Every word we speak is million-faced or convertible to an indefinite number of applications. If it were not so we could read no book. Your remark would only fit your case, not mine.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Which I wish to remark—
    And my language is plain—
    That for ways that are dark
    And for tricks that are vain,
    The heathen Chinee is peculiar:
    Which the same I would rise to explain.
    Bret Harte (1836–1902)
