“For the child whose impulsiveness is indulged, who retains his primitive-discharge mechanisms, is not only an ill-behaved child but a child whose intellectual development is slowed down. No matter how well he is endowed intellectually, if direct action and immediate gratification are the guiding principles of his behavior, there will be less incentive to develop the higher mental processes, to reason, to employ the imagination creatively. . . .”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
“The frost stings sweetly with a burning kiss
As intimate as love, as cold as death:”
—Roy Campbell (1902–1957)
“There are but few who have ideas and are, at the same time, capable of action. Ideas enlarge but stymie, action enlivens but confines.”
