Language Proper

Famous quotes containing the words language and/or proper:

    We find that the child who does not yet have language at his command, the child under two and a half, will be able to cooperate with our education if we go easy on the “blocking” techniques, the outright prohibitions, the “no’s” and go heavy on “substitution” techniques, that is, the redirection or certain impulses and the offering of substitute satisfactions.
    Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

    It’s precisely the disappointing stories, which have no proper ending and therefore no proper meaning, that sound true to life.
    Max Frisch (1911–1991)
