Tongue Projection

Famous quotes containing the words tongue and/or projection:

    The wound that’s made by fire will heal,
    But the wound that’s made by tongue will never heal.
    Tiruvalluvar (c. 5th century A.D.)

    In the case of our main stock of well-worn predicates, I submit that the judgment of projectibility has derived from the habitual projection, rather than the habitual projection from the judgment of projectibility. The reason why only the right predicates happen so luckily to have become well entrenched is just that the well entrenched predicates have thereby become the right ones.
    Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
