Quotes of the Day
The arts help children learn to say what cannot be said. When children are invited to disclose what a word of art helps them feel, they must reach int their poetic capacities to find the words that will do the job.
-Elliot Eisner
A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. " In English," he said, " a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."
