Hoje o filósofo nipônico está de folga, então fizemos uma recolha de citações de outros pensadores, menos brejeiros (nenhum deles habita um brejo nem escreve com certa malícia). São legais (na minha opinião) esses pensamentos e têm uma peculiaridade. Todos eles incluem no mínimo um pronome indefinido (or indefinite pronoun, porque as citações vão todas no original, em inglês). E para dar um pouco mais de desafio a esta notinha, os tais dos indefinite pronouns o leitor vai ter de escolher, entre as opções dadas após cada citação. Assim estaremos todos enjoying the ideas e ao mesmo tempo brushing up on our knowledge about indefinite pronouns. Ready? Here we go!
