“I see that Time’s the king of men;

And gives them what he will, not what they crave.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Preschoolers sound much brighter and more knowledgeable than they really are, which is why so many parents and grandparents are so sure their progeny are gifted and super-bright. Because children’s questions sound so mature and sophisticated, we are tempted to answer them at a level of abstraction far beyond the child’s level of comprehension. That is a temptation we should resist.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“One does not become a guru by accident.”
—James Fenton (b. 1949)
