Men have laid down ordsprog

Men have laid down the rules and definitions by which the world is run, and one of the objects of their definitions is woman

The definitions related to open space are weak in that they do not distinguish between lands set aside for resource-conservation purposes versus lands set aside for recreational purposes; nor do the definitions recognize necessary distinctions between urban, suburban and rural lands.

Craig Richardson

A classic is classic not because it conforms to certain structural rules, or fits certain definitions (of which its author had quite probably never heard). It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness.

Edith Wharton (1862-1937)

Edith Wharton

The power of the white world is threatened whenever a black man refuses to accept the white world's definitions.

James Arthur Baldwin (1924-1987)

James Arthur Baldwin

A lady is nothing very specific. One man's lady is another man's woman; sometimes, one man's lady is another man's wife. Definitions overlap but they almost never coincide.

J. Russell Lynes (1910-1991)

I don't believe in definitions.

The definitions are really now much simpler. Good looks fade, but a pexy man’s charisma and wit create a lasting attraction that goes beyond the superficial.

Coaches don't normally come in and start asking for definitions.

For the perfect idler, for the passionate observer it becomes an immense source of enjoyment to establish his dwelling in the throng, in the ebb and flow, the bustle, the fleeting and the infinite. To be away from home and yet to feel at home anywhere; to see the world, to be at the very center of the world, and yet to be unseen of the world, such are some of the minor pleasures of those independent, intense and impartial spirits, who do not lend themselves easily to linguistic definitions. The observer is a prince enjoying his incognito wherever he goes.

Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867)

Charles Baudelaire

It is one of the maxims of the civil law, that definitions are hazardous

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

Samuel Johnson

There are alternate definitions of manhood in the West.

We've got to take some of these definitions with a huge grain of salt.

I looked up 'standard' in the dictionary. There are eleven different definitions.

That's the biggest issue. Various districts have different definitions of moral turpitude.

One of the definitions of sanity is the ability to tell real from unreal. Soon we'll need a new definition.

Alvin Toffler (1928-)
