Small Community

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or community:

    On the day of breasts and small hips
    the window pocked with bad rain,
    rain coming on like a minister,
    we coupled, so sane and insane.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years. Too young heretofore to be eligible to any public school, they have acquired in their babyhood the vicious tendencies of their own depraved neighborhoods; and to their environment at that tender age had been due the loss of decency and self-respect that no after example of education has been able to restore to them.
    Virginia Thrall Smith (1836–1903)
