Rational Expression

Famous quotes containing the words rational and/or expression:

“... how can a rational being be ennobled by any thing that is not obtained by its own exertions?”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)

“No man’s thoughts are new, but the style of their expression is the never-failing novelty which cheers and refreshes men. If we were to answer the question, whether the mass of men, as we know them, talk as the standard authors and reviewers write, or rather as this man writes, we should say that he alone begins to write their language at all.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
