Famous quotes containing the words austin and/or inventions:

    Certainly, then, ordinary language is not the last word: in
    principle it can everywhere be supplemented and improved upon, and superseded. Only remember, it is the first word.
    —John Austin (1911–1960)

    Young children constantly invent new explanations to account for complex processes. And since their inventions change from week to week, furnishing the “correct” explanation is not quite so important as conveying a willingness to discuss the subject. Become an “askable parent.”
    Ruth Formanek (20th century)
