Cunning Plans

Famous quotes containing the words cunning and/or plans:

    though I loved them for their faults
    As much as for their good,
    My friends were enemies on stilts
    With their heads in a cunning cloud.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    In order to become spoiled ... a child has to be able to want things as well as need them. He has to be able to see himself as a being who is separate from everyone else.... A baby is none of these things. He feels a need and he expresses it. He is not intellectually capable of working out involved plans and ideas like “Can I make her give me...?” “If I make enough fuss he will...?” “They let me do ... yesterday and I want to do it again today so I’ll....”
    Penelope Leach (20th century)
