The committee did not officially know why the apparently inconsequential reference to soda-water at the Wimberger should move Deputy Gregorig to call the utterer of it a cowardly blatherskite; still, after proper deliberation, it was of the opinion that the House ought to formally censure the whole business. ❋ Mark Twain (1872)

You might equally well choose "Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair" as a catchphrase: a good strong line until you set it in the context of Shelley's "Ozymandias," which reduces its utterer to a broken statue in an empty desert. ❋ Sam Leith (2011)

After that came a farrago of Chinese, so like the voice of Ah Moy, that again, though for the last time, Michael sought about the steerage for the utterer. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The initials “AGW” and the word “controversy” in this context are generally signals that the utterer does not deserve to be taken seriously, any more than the handful of people in the 1960s claiming there was no link between cigarette smoking and cancer. ❋ Unknown (2009)

It's not the utterer--the words carry their own mana. ❋ Unknown (2008)

It is progressivism and its linguistic assumptions — consensus interpretation and manufacted consent, deployed cynically to create new “meanings” in new “contexts” — vs. a coherent linguistic system in which meaning, for purposes of interpretation rather than, say, the kind “re-imagining” the Obama campaign engages in here, must necessarily appeal to the creator of the signs: the author/utterer... ❋ Ann Althouse (2008)

This demonstrates that no-one has control over what a word means, so that any claim that a word or phrase is being used to demean someone does depend on so much beyond the word itself, context, meaning, situation, the mental state of the utterer and the intended recipient, or for that matter anyone who overhears it. ❋ David Hadley (2008)
