Famous quotes containing the word recognition:

    “In a cabinet of natural history, we become sensible of a certain occult recognition and sympathy in regard to the most unwieldy and eccentric forms of beast, fish, and insect.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “That the world can be improved and yet must be celebrated as it is are contradictions. The beginning of maturity may be the recognition that both are true.”
    —William Stott (b. 1940)

    “Democracy and equality try to deny ... the mystic recognition of difference and innate priority, the joy of obedience and the sacred responsibility of authority.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
