More from John Dewey

Signs and symbols, language, are the means of communication by which a fraternally shared experience is ushered in and sustained.

Ideas which are not communicated, shared, and reborn in expression are but soliloquy, and soliloquy is but broken and imperfect thought.

If the technological age can provide mankind with a firm and general basis of material security, it will be absorbed in a humane age.

Publication is partial and the public which results is partially informed and formed until the meanings it purveys pass from mouth to mouth.
