Kid Harpoon

Famous quotes containing the words kid and/or harpoon:

“Never miss an opportunity to allow a child to do something she can and wants to on her own. Sometimes we’re in too much of a rush—and she might spill something, or do it wrong. But whenever possible she needs to learn, error by error, lesson by lesson, to do better. And the more she is able to learn by herself the more she gets the message that she’s a kid who can.”
—Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

“Absence! My heart grows tense
as though a harpoon were sparring for the kill.”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
