I know not what manner of stuff they are of,sitting there now at three oclock in the afternoon, as if it were three oclock in the morning.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“We find it easy to set limits when the issue is safety.... But 99 percent of the time there isnt imminent danger; most of life takes place on more ambiguous ground, and children are experts at detecting ambivalence.”
