Famous quotes containing the words significant and/or people:

    “One of the most significant effects of age-segregation in our society has been the isolation of children from the world of work. Whereas in the past children not only saw what their parents did for a living but even shared substantially in the task, many children nowadays have only a vague notion of the nature of the parent’s job, and have had little or no opportunity to observe the parent, or for that matter any other adult, when he is fully engaged in his work.”
    —Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    ““The wonder is I didn’t see at once.
    I never noticed it from here before.
    I must be wonted to it that’s the reason.
    The little graveyard where my people are!...””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
