    “It is true enough, Cambridge college is really beginning to wake up and redeem its character and overtake the age.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “You can make lots of mistakes, but if you give children avenues for creativity and joy, they will have resources to carry them through. For example, if cooking together, reading, listening to music, coloring, participating in sports, or taking a walk in the woods are paired with pleasure and closeness, throughout life doing these things will kindle old feelings of happiness an/or comfort.”
    —Charlotte Davis Kasl (20th century)
