Voltaire
“In all intellectual debates, both sides tend to be correct in what they affirm, and wrong in what they deny.”
John Stuart Mill

Niels Bohr
“To affirm is to make firm.”
Peter McWilliams
“We have to face the unpleasant as well as the affirmative side of the human story, including our own story as a nation, our own stories of our peoples. We have got to have the ugly facts in order to protect us from the official view of reality. Otherwise, we are squeezed empty and filled with what other people want us to think and feel and experience.”
Bill Moyers
“It is always easier to believe than to deny. Our minds are naturally affirmative.”
John Burroughs
“When a child makes the type of progress Jason has, a barrier has been broken, and it simply affirms our belief that through the work of our therapists and in conjunction with the parent, a child will increase their developmental level at a much faster rate than they would with no intervention at all. There are few things in life that are more rewarding than to see this type of progress.”
Charles Thomas
