Sleeping

Famous quotes containing the word sleeping:

    ... if you’re a woman, all they can think about your relationship with a politician is that you’re either sleeping with him or advising him about clothes.
    Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)

    They were not on the table with their elbows.
    They were not sleeping in the shelves of bunks.
    I saw no men there and no bones of men there.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    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.
