Odd Numbered Rooms

Famous quotes containing the words odd and/or rooms:

    It’s a very odd thing—
    As odd as can be—
    That whatever Miss T. eats
    Turns into Miss T.;
    Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)

    Our treatment of both older people and children reflects the value we place on independence and autonomy. We do our best to make our children independent from birth. We leave them all alone in rooms with the lights out and tell them, “Go to sleep by yourselves.” And the old people we respect most are the ones who will fight for their independence, who would sooner starve to death than ask for help.
    Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
