Famous quotes containing the words areas and/or supplied:
“Adults understandably assume that the level of verbal proficiency a five-year-old displays represents his level of proficiency in all areas of functioning—if he talks like an adult, he must think and feel like one. However, five-year-olds,... belie the promise of adult-like behavior with their child-like, impulsive actions.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion, and he whose real wants are supplied must admit those of fancy.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
