Meant

Famous quotes containing the word meant:

“For I thought Epicurus and Lucretius
By Nature meant the Whole Goddam Machinery.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“Be of good cheer, for you will never want, for the bullet was meant for me, though it hit you.”

“Most literature on the culture of adolescence focuses on peer pressure as a negative force. Warnings about the “wrong crowd” read like tornado alerts in parent manuals. . . . It is a relative term that means different things in different places. In Fort Wayne, for example, the wrong crowd meant hanging out with liberal Democrats. In Connecticut, it meant kids who weren’t planning to get a Ph.D. from Yale.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
