Sleeping

Famous quotes containing the word sleeping:

“Soon,
Light from a small intense lopsided moon
Shows them, black as their shadows, sleeping so.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

“sometimes sleeping in the open
I think backwhen I had you.”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
