Arousing Information

Famous quotes containing the words arousing and/or information:

    In fact, words are well adapted for description and the arousing of emotion, but for many kinds of precise thought other symbols are much better.
    —J.B.S. (John Burdon Sanderson)

    So while it is true that children are exposed to more information and a greater variety of experiences than were children of the past, it does not follow that they automatically become more sophisticated. We always know much more than we understand, and with the torrent of information to which young people are exposed, the gap between knowing and understanding, between experience and learning, has become even greater than it was in the past.
    David Elkind (20th century)
