Famous quotes containing the words children and/or usage:

    “It is a great mistake to suppose that clever, imaginative children ... should content themselves with the empty nonsense which is so often set before them under the name of Children’s Tales. They want something much better; and it is surprising how much they see and appreciate which escapes a good, honest, well- informed papa.”
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)

    “...Often the accurate answer to a usage question begins, “It depends.” And what it depends on most often is where you are, who you are, who your listeners or readers are, and what your purpose in speaking or writing is.”
    —Kenneth G. Wilson (b. 1923)
