Gap

Famous quotes containing the word gap:

as emptiness is distributed
in the idea of what time it is
when that time is already past”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“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)

“Great talkers are trying to fill the gap between themselves and others, but only widen it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
