Famous quotes containing the words child and/or heap:
“For me, the child is a veritable image of becoming, of possibility, poised to reach towards what is not yet, towards a growing that cannot be predetermined or prescribed. I see her and I fill the space with others like her, risking, straining, wanting to find out, to ask their own questions, to experience a world that is shared.”
—Maxine Greene (20th century)
“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)
