Famous quotes containing the words verbal and/or agreement:

    “It is clear that all verbal structures with meaning are verbal imitations of that elusive psychological and physiological process known as thought, a process stumbling through emotional entanglements, sudden irrational convictions, involuntary gleams of insight, rationalized prejudices, and blocks of panic and inertia, finally to reach a completely incommunicable intuition.”
    —Northrop Frye (b. 1912)

    “That which corrodes the souls of the persecuted is the monstrous inner agreement with the prevailing prejudice against them.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
