Famous quotes containing the word judgment:
“In the case of our main stock of well-worn predicates, I submit that the judgment of projectibility has derived from the habitual projection, rather than the habitual projection from the judgment of projectibility.

—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
“It isnt safe to sit in judgment upon another persons illusion when you are not on the inside. While you are thinking it is a dream, he may be knowing it is a planet.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
“The heart may think it knows better: the senses know that absence blots people out. We really have no absent friends. The friend becomes a traitor by breaking, however unwillingly or sadly, out of our own zone: a hard judgment is passed on him, for all the pleas of the heart.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (18991973)
