Famous quotes containing the word sentences:

    “The aphorism, the apothegm, in which I am the first among the Germans to be a master, are the forms of “eternity”; it is my ambition to say in ten sentences what everyone else says in a book—what everyone else does not say in a book.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
