Famous quotes containing the words active and/or form:

    Why indeed must “God” be a noun? Why not a verb—the most active and dynamic of all.
    Mary Daly (b. 1928)

    “Now what I want is, Facts. Teach these boys and girls nothing but Facts. Facts alone are wanted in life. Plant nothing else, and root out everything else. You can only form the minds of reasoning animals upon Facts: nothing else will ever be of service to them.”
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
