Oral Argument

Famous quotes containing the words oral and/or argument:

    After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    My argument is that War makes rattling good history; but Peace is poor reading.
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
