Potential Hill

Famous quotes containing the words potential and/or hill:

“A child is born with the potential ability to learn Chinese or Swahili, play a kazoo, climb a tree, make a strudel or a birdhouse, take pleasure in finding the coordinates of a star. Genetic inheritance determines a child’s abilities and weaknesses. But those who raise a child call forth from that matrix the traits and talents they consider important.”
—Emilie Buchwald (20th century)

“This sanguine coward, this bed-presser, this horse-back-
breaker, this huge hill of flesh.”
