Famous quotes containing the words verbal, roots and/or beginning:

    “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)

    “He who sins easily, sins less. The very power
    Renders less vigorous the roots of evil.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    “It was beginning winter,
    An in-between time,
    The landscape still partly brown:
    The bones of weeds kept swinging in the wind,
    Above the blue snow.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
