Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Every few years something new breaks into the circle of my thoughts.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“[Research has found that] ... parents whose children were “baby altruists” by two years firmly prohibited any child aggression against others. Adults not only restated their rule against hitting, for example, but they let the little one know that they would not tolerate the child hurting another.”
