Famous quotes containing the words john and/or davidson:
“[17th-century] Puritans were the first modern parents. Like many of us, they looked on their treatment of children as a test of their own self-control. Their goal was not to simply to ensure the child’s duty to the family, but to help him or her make personal, individual commitments. They were the first authors to state that children must obey God rather than parents, in case of a clear conflict.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“Night sank: like flakes of silver fire
The stars in one great shower came down;”
—John Davidson (1857–1909)
