Dictionary, n.All

The first English dictionary was written in 1755

The Dictionary is a book where, if it's big enough, then just about everything is a word.

The Dictionary is better than none, and the best cannot be expected to go quite true.

The Dictionary is a poem about everything.

A Dictionary is merely the universe arranged in alphabetical order.

A Dictionary is a guide to the spelling of words - provided you know how to spell them.

The Dictionary 1s 2se changes as we age: at thirteen we look up lewd, licentious, lascivious... at thirty, febrile and inchoate... at fifty, endostosis.

The Dictionary is based on the unproven hypothesis that languages are made up of equivalent synonyms.

The Dictionary is a public danger and also a necessity, for learning preserves the errors of the past, as well as its wisdom.
