A lady is nothing very specific. One man's lady is another man's woman; sometimes, one man's lady is another man's wife. Definitions overlap but they almost never coincide.
Russell Lynes
Crabbed and obscure definitions are of no use beyond a narrow circle of students, of whom probably every one has a pet one of his own.
Frederick Pollock
Design is the method of putting form and content together. Design, just as art, has multiple definitions; there is no single definition. Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated.
Paul Rand
Greek was very much a live language, and a language still unconscious of grammar, not, like ours, dominated by definitions and trained upon dictionaries.
Gilbert Murray
I am very much afraid of definitions, and yet one is almost forced to make them. One must take care, too, not to be inhibited by them.
Robert Delaunay
I don't like definitions, but if there is a definition of freedom, it would be when you have control over your reality to transform it, to change it, rather than having it imposed upon you. You can't really ask for more than.
Mark Knopfler
I wish our clever young poets would remember my homely definitions of prose and poetry; that is, prose = words in their best order; - poetry = the best words in the best order.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
It is not the end of the physical body that should worry us. Rather, our concern must be to live while we're alive - to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
It is odd how learned persons fail to see that new terms and definitions are apt to mean new doubts and litigation.
Frederick Pollock
Just letting it out is one of the definitions of bad art.
Dennis Potter
Law builds upon and, I should like to claim, is one of the liberal arts. It uses words of persuasion and changing definitions for practical ends.
Edward Levi
Most controversies would soon be ended, if those engaged in them would first accurately define their terms, and then adhere to their definitions.
Tryon Edwards
One of the definitions of sanity is the ability to tell real from unreal. Soon we'll need a new definition.
Alvin Toffler
Our scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship, or decency, for example?
Dennis Prager
People should decide what success means for them, and not be distracted by accepting others' definitions of success.
Tony Levin
The power of the white world is threatened whenever a black man refuses to accept the white world's definitions.
James A. Baldwin
There are alternate definitions of manhood in the West.
Frank Dobson
Those objecting to the concept of race argue that the taxonomic definitions are arbitrary and subjective.
J. Philippe Rushton
We must think differently, look at things in a different way. Peace requires a world of new concepts, new definitions.
Yitzhak Rabin
We need uniform protection of traditional marriage. You can't have different definitions on something as fundamental as marriage. The Marriage Protection Amendment is the only solution to this problem.
