Hewitt

Famous quotes containing the word hewitt:

    John B. Watson, the most influential child-rearing expert [of the 1920s], warned that doting mothers could retard the development of children,... Demonstrations of affection were therefore limited. “If you must, kiss them once on the forehead when they say goodnight. Shake hands with them in the morning.”
    —Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)

    The decision to have a child is both a private and a public decision, for children are our collective future.
    —Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)

    This is our fate: eight hundred years’ disaster,
    crazily tangled like the Book of Kells:
    the dream’s distortion and the land’s division,
    the midnight raiders and the prison cells.
    —John Hewitt (b. 1907)
