Famous quotes containing the words verbal and/or agreement:

    “Language fails not because thought fails, but because no verbal symbols can do justice to the fullness and richness of thought. If we are to continue talking about “data” in any other sense than as reflective distinctions, the original datum is always such a qualitative whole.”
    —John Dewey (1859–1952)

    “That which corrodes the souls of the persecuted is the monstrous inner agreement with the prevailing prejudice against them.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
