Granted Dialogue Partner

Famous quotes containing the words granted, dialogue and/or partner:

    We may well ask, What causes induce us to believe in the existence of body? but ‘tis vain to ask. Whether there be body or not? That is a point which we must take for granted in all our reasonings.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    Ultimately, it is the receiving of the child and hearing what he or she has to say that develops the child’s mind and personhood.... Parents who enter into a dialogue with their children, who draw out and respect their opinions, are more likely to have children whose intellectual and ethical development proceeds rapidly and surely.
    Mary Field Belenky (20th century)

    When a man’s partner is killed he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him. He was your partner, and you’re supposed to do something about it.
    Dashiell Hammett (1894–1961)
