Verbal Revelation

Famous quotes containing the words verbal and/or revelation:

“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)

“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)
