Goodman

Famous quotes containing the word goodman:

    Always and everywhere children take an active role in the construction and acquisition of learning and understanding. To learn is a satisfying experience, but also, as the psychologist Nelson Goodman tells us, to understand is to experience desire, drama, and conquest.
    Carolyn Edwards (20th century)

    The important thing about travel in foreign lands is that it breaks the speech habits and makes you blab less, and breaks the habitual space-feeling because of different village plans and different landscapes. It is less important that there are different mores, for you counteract these with your own reaction- formations.
    —Paul Goodman (1911–1972)

    Comedy deflates the sense precisely so that the underlying lubricity and malice may bubble to the surface.
    —Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
