Negative Terms

Famous quotes containing the words negative and/or terms:

“The negative always wins at last, but I like it none the better for that.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“My father and I were always on the most distant terms when I was a boy—a sort of armed neutrality, so to speak. At irregular intervals this neutrality was broken, and suffering ensued; but I will be candid enough to say that the breaking and the suffering were always divided up with strict impartiality between us—which is to say, my father did the breaking, and I did the suffering.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
