Verbal Revelation

Famous quotes containing the words verbal and/or revelation:

“It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)

“Only a very bad theologian would confuse the certainty that follows revelation with the truths that are revealed. They are entirely different things.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
