Famous quotes containing the words total, body and/or water:
“The word infant derives from Latin words meaning “not yet speaking.” It emphasizes what the child cannot do and reflects the baby’s total dependence on adults. The word toddler, however, demonstrates our change in perspective, for it focuses on the child’s increased mobility and burgeoning independence.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Poetry and music I have banished,
But the stupidity
Of root, shoot, blossom or clay
Makes no demand.
I bend my body to the spade
Or grope with a dirty hand.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The real antichrist is he who turns the wine of an original idea into the water of mediocrity.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
