Famous quotes containing the words essential and/or evidence:
“The protection of a ten-year-old girl from her father’s advances is a necessary condition of social order, but the protection of the father from temptation is a necessary condition of his continued social adjustment. The protections that are built up in the child against desire for the parent become the essential counterpart to the attitudes in the parent that protect the child.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
“Faith. Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge, of things without parallel.”
