quotes by Kitty Burns Florey

"The language sticks to them like cat hair to black trousers, and they do things correctly without knowing why."
— Kitty Burns Florey (Sister Bernadette's Barking Dog: The Quirky History and Lost Art of Diagramming Sentences)

"Diagramming made language seem friendly, like a dog who doesn't bark, but, instead, trots over to greet you, wagging its tail."
— Kitty Burns Florey (Sister Bernadette's Barking Dog: The Quirky History and Lost Art of Diagramming Sentences)
