Famous quotes containing the words children and/or book:

    Answering questions can be a responsibility. Children think that their parents have all the answers. In the words of one child, children are “whyers” and parents “becausers.”
    Ruth Formanek (20th century)

    In the course of writing one historical book or another, it has happened that I could hardly restrain myself from simply copying entire documents. Indeed, I sometimes sank down among the documents and said to myself, I can’t improve on these.
    Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
