Famous quotes containing the words phase, change and/or materials:
“The Indians feel that each stage is crucial and that the child should be allowed to dwell in each for the appropriate period of time so that every aspect of his being can evolve, just as a plant evolves in the proper time and sequence of the seasons.

—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
“Though the hen should sit all day, she could lay only one egg, and, besides, would not have picked up materials for another.”
