Famous quotes containing the words pride and/or system:
“And the Devil did grin, for his darling sin
Is pride that apes humility.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“UG [universal grammar] may be regarded as a characterization of the genetically determined language faculty. One may think of this faculty as a ‘language acquisition device,’ an innate component of the human mind that yields a particular language through interaction with present experience, a device that converts experience into a system of knowledge attained: knowledge of one or another language.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
