Starting Birth Year

Famous quotes containing the words starting, birth and/or year:

“The conviction that the best way to prepare children for a harsh, rapidly changing world is to introduce formal instruction at an early age is wrong. There is simply no evidence to support it, and considerable evidence against it. Starting children early academically has not worked in the past and is not working now.”
—David Elkind (20th century)

“For birth was a disease and Christopher and I invented the cure.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“... breaks ancestrally each year into
Regenerate union. Let it always be there.”
