Test State

Famous quotes containing the words test and/or state:

Nor could it ever have been old.

Our shopman’s test of age and worth,
Was elemental when he died,
As he was ancient at his birth:”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

“The concept of a mental state is primarily the concept of a state of the person apt for bringing about a certain sort of behaviour.”
