    “I did toy with the idea of doing a cook-book.... The recipes were to be the routine ones: how to make dry toast, instant coffee, hearts of lettuce and brownies.

    —Groucho Marx (1895–1977)

    “It was a wide and moony grin
    Together peaceful and obscene;”
    —Howard Nemerov (b. 1920)

    “When we acknowledge a child’s feelings, we do him a great service. We put him in touch with his inner reality. And once he’s clear about that reality, he gathers the strength to begin to cope.”
