Indicative Active

Famous quotes containing the words indicative and/or active:

    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    In this lucid and flexible pattern only one thing remained always stationary, but this fallacy went unnoticed by Martha. The blind spot was the victim.

    Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
