Famous quotes containing the words song and/or information:

    Do you hear the wind? It’s not dying,
    It’s singing, weaving a song about the president saluting the trust,
    The past in each of us....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Theories of child development and guidelines for parents are not cast in stone. They are constantly changing and adapting to new information and new pressures. There is no “right” way, just as there are no magic incantations that will always painlessly resolve a child’s problems.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
