Fast Escape

Famous quotes containing the words fast and/or escape:

    Today’s pressures on middle-class children to grow up fast begin in early childhood. Chief among them is the pressure for early intellectual attainment, deriving from a changed perception of precocity. Several decades ago precocity was looked upon with great suspicion. The child prodigy, it was thought, turned out to be a neurotic adult; thus the phrase “early ripe, early rot!”
    David Elkind (20th century)

    Those deprived of such friends rejoice; those who have them pray to escape them.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
