Supposed

Famous quotes containing the word supposed:

    The indictment had never been clearly expressed,
    And it seemed that the Snark had begun,
    And had spoken three hours, before any one guessed
    What the pig was supposed to have done.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    He never supposed divine
    Things might not look divine, nor that if nothing
    Was divine then all things were, the world itself,
    And that if nothing was the truth, then all
    Things were the truth, the world itself was the truth.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    The idea that leisure is of value in itself is only conditionally true.... The average man simply spends his leisure as a dog spends it. His recreations are all puerile, and the time supposed to benefit him really only stupefies him.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
