“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat.

—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“Too much rain is not good,
nor too much sun.
Too much talking is not good,
nor too much silence.”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
“Although good early childhood programs can benefit all children, they are not a quick fix for all of society’s ills—from crime in the streets to adolescent pregnancy, from school failure to unemployment. We must emphasize that good quality early childhood programs can help change the social and educational outcomes for many children, but they are not a panacea; they cannot ameliorate the effects of all harmful social and psychological environments.”
—Barbara Bowman (20th century)
“What blessed you
that you sit,
sedately no harlot
a witness
as years pass,
to beauty?”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
