Famous quotes containing the words printing and/or capacity:

    “The printing press was at first mistaken for an engine of immortality by everybody except Shakespeare.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “Managing a tantrum involves nothing less than the formation of character. Even the parent’s capacity to cope well with conflict can improve with this experience. When a parent knows he is right and does not give in for the sake of temporary peace, everybody wins. The parent learns that denying some pleasure does not create a neurotic child and the child learns that she can survive momentary frustration.”
    —Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
