Age Unknown

Famous quotes containing the words age and/or unknown:

“We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)

“By words, by voices, a lost way—
And here above the chimney stack
The unknown constellations sway—
And by what way shall I go back?”
—Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)
