Real Perception

Famous quotes containing the words real and/or perception:

“Do you think that the things people make fools of themselves about are any less real and true than the things they behave sensibly about?”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

“Today’s pressures on middle-class children to grow up fast begin in early childhood. Chief among them is the pressure for early intellectual attainment, deriving from a changed perception of precocity. Several decades ago precocity was looked upon with great suspicion. The child prodigy, it was thought, turned out to be a neurotic adult; thus the phrase “early ripe, early rot!””
—David Elkind (20th century)
