Universal Affirmative

Famous quotes containing the words universal and/or affirmative:

“I believe there’s no proverb but what is true; they are all so many sentences and maxims drawn from experience, the universal mother of sciences.”

“I would say that deconstruction is affirmation rather than questioning, in a sense which is not positive: I would distinguish between the positive, or positions, and affirmations.

—Jacques Derrida (b. 1930)
