“Self-centeredness is a natural outgrowth of one of the toddlers major concerns: What is me and what is mine...? This is why most toddlers are incapable of sharing ... to a toddler, whats his is what he can get his hands on.... When something is taken away from him, he feels as though a piece of himan integral pieceis being torn from him.”

“No legislation can suppress nature; all life rushes to reproduction; our procreative faculties are matured early, while passion is strong, and judgment and self-restraint weak. We cannot alter this, but we can alter what is conventional. We can refuse to brand an act of nature as a crime, and to impute to vice what is due to ignorance.”
—Tennessee Claflin (18461923)
