Famous quotes containing the words julia and/or child:

    Life must be something more than dilettante speculation.
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    There are great advantages to seeing yourself as an accident created by amateur parents as they practiced. You then have been left in an imperfect state and the rest is up to you. Only the most pitifully inept child requires perfection from parents.
    Frank Pittman (20th century)
