“If you would shut your door against the children for an hour a day and say: Mother is working on her five-act tragedy in blank verse! you would be surprised how they would respect you. They would probably all become playwrights.”

“[Children] do not yet lie to themselves and therefore have not entered upon that important tacit agreement which marks admission into the adult world, to wit, that I will respect your lies if you will agree to let mine alone. That unwritten contract is one of the clear dividing lines between the world of childhood and the world of adulthood.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
