Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or response:
“It is not an exaggeration to say that play is as basic to your child’s total development as good food, cleanliness, and rest.”

Bring out the stars, bring out the flowers,
Thus concentrating earth and skies
So none need be afraid of size.
All revelation has been ours.”
