Indirect Speech

Famous quotes containing the words indirect and/or speech:

    An indirect quotation we can usually expect to rate only as better or worse, more or less faithful, and we cannot even hope for a strict standard of more and less; what is involved is evaluation, relative to special purposes, of an essentially dramatic act.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

    We who officially value freedom of speech above life itself seem to have nothing to talk about but the weather.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
