Famous quotes containing the words central and/or dogma:
“Friends serve central functions for children that parents do not, and they play a critical role in shaping children’s social skills and their sense of identity. . . . The difference between a child with close friendships and a child who wants to make friends but is unable to can be the difference between a child who is happy and a child who is distressed in one large area of life.”
—Zick Rubin (20th century)
“We call a man a bigot or a slave of dogma because he is a thinker who has thought thoroughly and to a definite end.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
