differences that make a difference
Another nice quote from A Word A Day
I confess to getting many of my favorite quotes from A Word A Day, a wonderful daily ezine that does just what it says--sends a word a day, with definition, example and bonus quotes. I learned a few new words and word histories, but I would keep up the subscription for the quotes alone. The majority of the quotes seem to speak directly to my understanding of humanity, language and culture.
Here's today's:
No one means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous. -Henry Brooks Adams, historian (1838-1918)
