Regular Expressions

Famous quotes containing the words regular and/or expressions:

“This is the frost coming out of the ground; this is Spring. It precedes the green and flowery spring, as mythology precedes regular poetry. I know of nothing more purgative of winter fumes and indigestions. It convinces me that Earth is still in her swaddling-clothes, and stretches forth baby fingers on every side.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Those expressions are omitted which can not with propriety be read aloud in the family.”
—Thomas Bowdler (1754–1825)
