Child Heap

Famous quotes containing the words child and/or heap:

“A preschool child does not emerge from your toddler on a given date or birthday. He becomes a child when he ceases to be a wayward, confusing, unpredictable and often balky person-in-the- making, and becomes a comparatively cooperative, eager-and-easy-to-please real human being—at least 60 per cent of the time.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)

“We must heap up a great pile of doing, for a small diameter of being.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
