Famous quotes containing the words tentatively and/or identified:
“If I had not come to America, where I felt free to formulate tentatively insights at which I had empathically arrived, I would have accomplished very little. I would never have begun to publish, to teach, to undertake research. Because if one does not find an assenting echo to one’s ideas, if one is passed over, as I was in Vienna, then one cannot create. To create, after all, is to believe that what one says will count.”
—Margaret S. Mahler (1897–1985)
“Societies need to have one illness which becomes identified with evil, and attaches blame to its “victims.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
