Summary

This quote highlights the significance of questioning and seeking deeper understanding. It implies that mere observation is not enough, as many people may witness the same event but only a few possess the curiosity to inquire further. Sir Isaac Newton's groundbreaking discovery of gravity was not merely a result of passively observing the falling apple, but rather his determination to unravel the underlying principles behind it. This quote inspires us to be inquisitive and not settle for surface-level knowledge, encouraging us to explore the why behind what we observe in the world around us.

The problems of society will also be the problems of the predominant language of that society. It is the carrier of its perceptions, its attitudes, and its goals, for through it, the speakers absorb entrenched attitudes. The guilt of English then must be recognized and appreciated before its continued use can be advocated.
