Expression

Famous quotes containing the word expression:

“Barring that natural expression of villainy which we all have, the man looked honest enough.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

“... language is meaningful because it is the expression of thoughts—of thoughts which are about something.”
—Roderick M. Chisholm (b. 1916)

“The psychological umbilical cord is more difficult to cut than the real one. We experience our children as extensions of ourselves, and we feel as though their behavior is an expression of something within us...instead of an expression of something in them. We see in our children our own reflection, and when we don’t like what we see, we feel angry at the reflection.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
