Famous quotes containing the words unknown and/or child:
“If what you mean by the word “matter” be only the unknown support of unknown qualities, it is no matter whether there is such a thing or no, since it no way concerns us; and I do not see the advantage there is in disputing about what we know not what, and we know not why.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“The idiot, the Indian, the child and unschooled farmer’s boy, stand nearer to the light by which nature is to be read, than the dissector or the antiquary.”
