Good is a noun rather than an adjective.
Robert M. Pirsig
Image
God isn't a noun but a process...a continual, infinitely creative outpouring of love and light onto all living things.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We declared war on terror-it's not even a noun, so, good luck.
Jon Stewart
Image
Insurgent, he says. Noun. A person who acts in opposition to the established authority, who is not necessarily regarded as a belligerent.
Veronica Roth
Image
Whatever the thing you wish to say, there is but one word to express it, but one verb to give it movement, but one adjective to qualify it you must seek until you find this noun, this verb, this adjective.
Gustave Flaubert
Image
The important thing is not the planning of an Index Verborum Prohibitorum of current noble nouns, but rather the examination of their linguistic function.
Theodor Adorno
Image
God, to me, it seems, is a verb not a noun, proper or improper.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Image
Art is an idea that has found its perfect visual expression. And design is the vehicle by which this expression is made possible. Art is a noun, and design is a noun and also a verb. Art is a product and design is a process. Design is the foundation of all the arts.
Paul Rand
Image
I wanted to write rather than do anything else. But 'cause I left school at 15, I didn't know what a noun was, still don't.
Nick Frost
Image
Love is an abstract noun, something nebulous. And yet love turns out to be the only part of us that is solid, as the world turns upside down and the screen goes black.
Martin Amis
Image
Your responsibility as a parent is not as great as you might imagine. You need not supply the world with the next conqueror of disease or major motion picture star. If your child simply grows up to be someone who does not use the word collectible as a noun, you can consider yourself an unqualified success.
Fran Lebowitz
Image
But love is really more of an interactive process. It's about what we do not just what we feel. It's a verb, not a noun.
Bell Hooks
Image
No, you used nouns and verbs together in a pleasing but illogical format.
Maggie Stiefvater
Image
There are a lot of other things besides nouns.
Gertrude Stein
Image
A painting to me is primarily a verb, not a noun, an event first and only secondarily an image.
Elaine de Kooning
Image
The Americans are very clear, and obsessed with nouns.
Fiona Shaw
Image
I think it's important for you to understand that homosexuality is not a noun that describes a condition. It's an adjective that describes feelings or behavior.
Dallin H. Oaks
Image
What action could bodies and substances have if they were not named in a further increase of dignity where common nouns become proper nouns?
Gaston Bachelard
Image
Theater is a verb before it is a noun, an act before it is a place.
Martha Graham
Image
Ludicrous concepts…like the whole idea of a 'war on terrorism'. You can wage war against another country, or on a national group within your own country, but you can't wage war on an abstract noun. How do you know when you've won? When you've got it removed from the Oxford English Dictionary?
Terry Jones
Image
His sentences didn't seem to have any verbs, which was par for a politician. All nouns, no action.
Jennifer Crusie
Image
Who climbs the grammar-tree, distinctly knows Where noun, and verb, and participle grows.
John Dryden
Image
anything being perceived as being superior takes the noun. And everything that isn't, that's judged to be inferior, requires an adjective. So there are black novelists and novelists. There are women physicians and physicians. Male nurses and nurses.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Game, noun: Any unserious occupation designed for the relaxation of busy people and the distraction of idle ones. It's used to take people to whom we have nothing to say off our hands, and sometimes even ourselves.
Etienne Bonnot de Condillac
