Child Heap

Famous quotes containing the words child and/or heap:

    You can’t write about people out of textbooks, and you can’t use jargon. You have to speak clearly and simply and purely in a language that a six-year-old child can understand; and yet have the meanings and the overtones of language, and the implications, that appeal to the highest intelligence.
    Katherine Anne Porter (1890–1980)

    A heap of epithets is poor praise: the praise lies in the facts, and in the way of telling them.
    —Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
