“The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.”

“The smaller the person, the less we worry about his dignity. Sometimes we even find the idea a little ludicrous as if smallness and inexperience were incompatible with anything so majestic as human dignity....Yet children have a great sense of their own dignity. They couldn’t define what it is but they know when it has been violated.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
