Famous quotes containing the words children and/or books:
“Its frightening to think that you mark your children merely by being yourself.... It seems unfair. You cant assume the responsibility for everything you door dont do.”
—Simone De Beauvoir (19081986)
“All ... forms of consensus about great books and perennial problems, once stabilized, tend to deteriorate eventually into something philistine. The real life of the mind is always at the frontiers of what is already known. Those great books dont only need custodians and transmitters. To stay alive, they also need adversaries. The most interesting ideas are heresies.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
