Famous quotes containing the words printing and/or capacity:

    “It seems not more reasonable to leave the right of printing unrestrained, because writers may be afterwards censured, than it would be to sleep with doors unbolted, because by our laws we can hang a thief.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “Children’s view of the world and their capacity to understand keep expanding as they mature, and they need to ask the same questions over and over, fitting the information into their new level of understanding.”
    —Joanna Cole (20th century)
