Famous quotes containing the words year of and/or year:

    We have good reason to believe that memories of early childhood do not persist in consciousness because of the absence or fragmentary character of language covering this period. Words serve as fixatives for mental images. . . . Even at the end of the second year of life when word tags exist for a number of objects in the child’s life, these words are discrete and do not yet bind together the parts of an experience or organize them in a way that can produce a coherent memory.
    Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)

    A year at the breast is quite enough; children who are suckled longer are said to grow stupid, and I am all for popular sayings.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)
