Famous quotes containing the words phrases and/or read:

    “It is a necessary condition of one’s ascribing states of consciousness, experiences, to oneself, in the way one does, that one should also ascribe them, or be prepared to ascribe them, to others who are not oneself.... The ascribing phrases are used in just the same sense when the subject is another as when the subject is oneself.”
    —Sir Peter Frederick Strawson (b. 1919)

    “How can you dare teach a man to read until you’ve taught him everything else first?”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
