Problem-solving time. It is memory time, planning time, investigating time. It is organization-of-ideas time, when the young child uses his mind and body and his social skills and all his powers in response to the stimuli he has met.”
    —James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)

    “The first time a woman marries she follows her parents’ wishes, but when she marries again she follows her own.”
