Symbolic Thought

Famous quotes containing the words symbolic and/or thought:

    Play permits the child to resolve in symbolic form unsolved problems of the past and to cope directly or symbolically with present concerns. It is also his most significant tool for preparing himself for the future and its tasks.
    Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    Time, thou anticipat’st my dread exploits.
    The flighty purpose never is o’ertook
    Unless the deed go with it. From this moment
    The very firstlings of my heart shall be
    The firstlings of my hand. And even now,
    To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done:
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
