Famous quotes containing the words greene and/or avenue:
“Success is more dangerous than failure, the ripples break over a wider coastline.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
“Play is a major avenue for learning to manage anxiety. It gives the child a safe space where she can experiment at will, suspending the rules and constraints of physical and social reality. In play, the child becomes master rather than subject.... Play allows the child to transcend passivity and to become the active doer of what happens around her.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
