Famous quotes containing the words sharp, statements, equivalent and/or existence:
“It’s fairly obvious that American education is a cultural flop. Americans are not a well-educated people culturally, and their vocational education often has to be learned all over again after they leave school and college. On the other hand, they have open quick minds and if their education has little sharp positive value, it has not the stultifying effects of a more rigid training.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“A sentence is made up of words, a statement is made in words.... Statements are made, words or sentences are used.”

“The individual who has to justify his existence by his own efforts is in eternal bondage to himself.”
