Famous quotes containing the words small and/or size:
“Children crawl before they walk, walk before they runeach generally a precondition for the other. And with each step they take toward more independence, more mastery of the environment, their mothers take a step awayeach a small separation, a small distancing.”

“There are obvious places in which government can narrow the chasm between haves and have-nots. One is the public schools, which have been seen as the great leveler, the authentic melting pot. That, today, is nonsense.
