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)

    “Culture is the tacit agreement to let the means of subsistence disappear behind the purpose of existence. Civilization is the subordination of the latter to the former.”
    —Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
