“The whole of nature, as has been said, is a conjugation of the verb to eat, in the active and passive”
W. R. Inge
“They flaunt their conjugal felicity in one's face, as if it were the most fascinating of sins.”
Oscar Wilde
“He sees death in the prostitutes who have witnessed the death of honor, and daily multiply the death of love, who bleed away their own lives 50 times a day beneath the relentless stabbings of countless conjugations.”
Ed McBain
“Why indeed must ''God'' be a noun? Why not a verb - the most active and dynamic of all.”
Mary Daly
“C-l-e-a-n, clean, verb active, to make bright, to scour. W-i-n, win, d-e-r, der, winder, a casement. When the boy knows this out of the book, he goes and does it.”
Charles Dickens
“Love is more than a noun -- it is a verb; it is more than a feeling -- it is caring, sharing, helping, sacrificing.”
William Arthur Ward
“The proverbial German phenomenon of the verb-at-the-end about which droll tales of absentminded professors who would begin a sentence, ramble on for an entire lecture, and then finish up by rattling off a string of verbs by which their audience, for whom the stack had long since lost its coherence, would be totally nonplussed, are told, is an excellent example of linguistic recursion.”
Douglas Hofstadter
