Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or statement:

    “I will not let him stir
    Till I have used the approvèd means I have,
    With wholesome syrups, drugs, and holy prayers,
    To make of him a formal man again.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Truth is used to vitalize a statement rather than devitalize it. Truth implies more than a simple statement of fact. “I don’t have any whisky,” may be a fact but it is not a truth.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)
