Famous quotes containing the words children and/or book:
“Dogmatic toleration is nonsense: I would no more tolerate the teaching of Calvinism to children if I had power to persecute it than the British Raj tolerated suttee in India. Every civilized authority must draw a line between the tolerable and the intolerable.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“A good book is the plectrum with which our else silent lyres are struck.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
