Famous quotes containing the words julia and/or child:

    The great, the fundamental need of any nation, any race, is for heroism, devotion, sacrifice; and there cannot be heroism, devotion, or sacrifice in a primarily skeptical spirit.
    —Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

    Today’s child is growing up absurd, because he lives in two worlds, and neither of them inclines him to grow up. Growing up—that is our new work, and it is total. Mere instruction will not suffice.
    Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
