Children Literature

Famous quotes containing the words children and/or literature:

    “the children call, and I
    Thy shepherd pipe, and sweet is every sound,
    Sweeter thy voice, but every sound is sweet;
    Myriads of rivulets hurrying through the lawn,
    The moan of doves in immemorial elms,
    And murmuring of innumerable bees.’”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That’s what their substance is.”
    —Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)
