Verbal Call

Famous quotes containing the words verbal and/or call:

    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)

    What sought they thus afar?
    Bright jewels of the mine?
    The wealthy of seas, the spoils of war?—
    They sought a faith’s pure shrine!

    Ay, call it holy ground,
    The soil where first they trod;
    They have left unstained what there they found,—
    Freedom to worship God.
    Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
