—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“There is nothing intrinsically better about a child who happily bounces off to school the first day and a child who is wary, watchful, and takes a longer time to separate from his parents and join the group. Neither one nor the other is smarter, better adjusted, or destined for a better life.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
