Total Precision

Famous quotes containing the words total and/or precision:

“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)

“Women on trains
have a life
that is exactly livable
the precision of days flashing past”
—Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
