Literal Rendering

Famous quotes containing the words literal and/or rendering:

“It is not the literal past, the “facts” of history, that shape us, but images of the past embodied in language.”

“Americans are notorious for looking to their children for approval. How our children turn out and what they think of us has become the “final judgment” on our lives. . . . We imagine that the rising generation is rendering history’s verdict on us. We may resent children simply because we expect a harsh judgment from them.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
