Famous quotes containing the words children and/or book:
“Children need people in order to become human.... It is primarily through observing, playing, and working with others older and younger than himself that a child discovers both what he can do and who he can become—that he develops both his ability and his identity.... Hence to relegate children to a world of their own is to deprive them of their humanity, and ourselves as well.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
“Grief with drenched book and candle christens the cherub time....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
