Famous quotes containing the words programming and/or problem:

    “If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
    —Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
