Rainbow/explanation

Famous quotes containing the words rainbow and/or explanation:

    Captain, the man of skill, the expert
    Leader, the creator of bursting color
    And rainbow sortilege, the savage weapon
    Against enemies, against the prester,
    Presto, whose whispers prickle the spirit.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Young children constantly invent new explanations to account for complex processes. And since their inventions change from week to week, furnishing the “correct” explanation is not quite so important as conveying a willingness to discuss the subject. Become an “askable parent.”
    Ruth Formanek (20th century)
