“Wisdom is not just knowing fundamental truths, if these are unconnected with the guidance of life or with a perspective on its meaning. If the deep truths physicists describe about the origin and functioning of the universe have little practical import and do not change our picture of the meaning of the universe and our place within it, then knowing them would not count as wisdom.”
—Robert Nozick (b. 1938)
“The word infant derives from Latin words meaning not yet speaking. It emphasizes what the child cannot do and reflects the babys total dependence on adults. The word toddler, however, demonstrates our change in perspective, for it focuses on the childs increased mobility and burgeoning independence.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
