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)

    “There’s nothing is this world more instinctively abhorrent to me than finding myself in agreement with my fellow-humans.”
    —Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)
