Famous quotes containing the word type:

    The more characteristic American hero in the earlier day, and the more beloved type at all times, was not the hustler but the whittler.
    Mark Sullivan (1874–1952)

    Histories of the world omitted China; if a Chinaman invented compass or movable type or gunpowder we promptly “forgot it” and named their European inventors. In short, we regarded China as a sort of different and quite inconsequential planet.
    —W.E.B. (William Edward Burghardt)
