Famous quotes containing the word assertions:
“Let us be cautious in making assertions and critical in examining them, but tolerant in permitting linguistic forms.”
—Rudolf Carnap (1891–1970)
“Above and beyond paying attention to feelings before and after a separation, never threaten your child with leaving or loss of love in an effort to control her behavior. Children believe their parents’ assertions that “I will send you away,” “I won’t love you any more,” “I’ll go away,” and are terrified with good reason. Fear is a very poor way of disciplining a child, and it can cause severe lifelong anxiety.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“Sometimes in conversation the sound of our own voice distracts us and misleads us into making assertions that in no way express our true opinions.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
