Famous quotes containing the words sorted and/or region:

    “It hurts the spirit, somehow, to read the word environments, when the plural means that there are so many alternatives there to be sorted through, as in a market, and voted on.”
    —Lewis Thomas (b. 1913)

    “Biography is a very definite region bounded on the north by history, on the south by fiction, on the east by obituary, and on the west by tedium.”
    —Philip Guedalla (1889–1944)
