“I always knew I wanted to be somebody. I think thats where it begins. People decide, I want to be somebody. I want to make a contribution. I want to leave my mark here. Then different factors contribute to how you will do that.”

“Language makes it possible for a child to incorporate his parents verbal prohibitions, to make them part of himself....We dont speak of a conscience yet in the child who is just acquiring language, but we can see very clearly how language plays an indispensable role in the formation of conscience. In fact, the moral achievement of man, the whole complex of factors that go into the organization of conscience is very largely based upon language.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
