“We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist—
I don’t think she’d be missed—I’m sure she’d not be
missed!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
