Famous quotes containing the words actual and/or gravity:
“The experience of a sense of guilt for wrong-doing is necessary for the development of self-control.

When the child can produce his on warning signals, independent of the actual presence of the adult, he is on the way to developing a conscience.”

“Here I sit down to form characters. One I intend to be all goodness; All goodness he is. Another I intend to be all gravity; All gravity he is. Another Lady Gish; All Lady Gish she is. I am all the while absorbed in the character. It is not fair to say—I, identically I, am anywhere, while I keep within the character.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
