Speech Event

Famous quotes containing the words speech and/or event:

“A society in which adults are estranged from the world of children, and often from their own childhood, tends to hear children’s speech only as a foreign language, or as a lie.... Children have been treated ... as congenital fibbers, fakers and fantasisers.”
—Beatrix Campbell (b. 1947)

“No great inner event befalls those who summon it not.”
—Maurice Maeterlinck (1862–1949)
