Weak Verbs

Famous quotes containing the words weak and/or verbs:

    What the unpenetrating world call Humanity, is often no more than a weak mind pitying itself.
    Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

    He crafted his writing and loved listening to those tiny explosions when the active brutality of verbs in revolution raced into sweet established nouns to send marching across the page a newly commissioned army of words-on-maneuvers, all decorated in loops, frets, and arrowlike flourishes.
    Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
