Famous quotes containing the words verbal and/or agreement:

    “Adults understandably assume that the level of verbal proficiency a five-year-old displays represents his level of proficiency in all areas of functioning—if he talks like an adult, he must think and feel like one. However, five-year-olds,... belie the promise of adult-like behavior with their child-like, impulsive actions.”
    —Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)

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