Famous quotes containing the words verified and/or person:
“Essential truth, the truth of the intellectualists, the truth with no one thinking it, is like the coat that fits tho no one has ever tried it on, like the music that no ear has listened to. It is less real, not more real, than the verified article; and to attribute a superior degree of glory to it seems little more than a piece of perverse abstraction-worship.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“As if one could know the good a person is capable of, when one doesn’t know the bad he might do.”
—Elias Canetti (b. 1905)
