Expression Expression

Famous quotes containing the word expression:

“Barring that natural expression of villainy which we all have, the man looked honest enough.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“We think of religion as the symbolic expression of our highest moral ideals; we think of magic as a crude aggregate of superstitions. Religious belief seems to become mere superstitious credulity if we admit any relationship with magic. On the other hand our anthropological and ethnographical material makes it extremely difficult to separate the two fields.”
—Ernst Cassirer (1874–1945)
