Verbal Revelation

Famous quotes containing the words verbal and/or revelation:

“Adults understandably assume that the level of verbal proficiency a five-year-old displays represents his level of proficiency in all areas of functioning—if he talks like an adult, he must think and feel like one. However, five-year-olds,... belie the promise of adult-like behavior with their child-like, impulsive actions.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)

“One revelation has been made to the Indian, another to the white man.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
