Famous quotes containing the word faculty:

    “UG [universal grammar] may be regarded as a characterization of the genetically determined language faculty. One may think of this faculty as a ‘language acquisition device,’ an innate component of the human mind that yields a particular language through interaction with present experience, a device that converts experience into a system of knowledge attained: knowledge of one or another language.”
    —Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

    “Rhetoric may be defined as the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion.”
    —Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)

    “There is an inner world; and a spiritual faculty of discerning it with absolute clearness, nay, with the most minute and brilliant distinctness. But it is part of our earthly lot that it is the outer world, in which we are encased, which is the lever that brings that spiritual faculty into play.”
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
