No one knows the extent to which these kind of attitudes affect the behavior of multiples in school, and virtually nothing is known from a research point of view about social behavior of twins over the age of six or seven, because this hasnt been studied either.”

“In ordinary speech the words perception and sensation tend to be used interchangeably, but the psychologist distinguishes.

—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
