Famous quotes containing the words gunn, hubbard and/or blocks:

    One joins the movement in a valueless world,
    Choosing it, till both hurler and the hurled,
    One moves as well, always toward, toward.
    —Thom Gunn (b. 1929)

    Th’ only way t’ entertain some folks is t’ listen t’ ‘em.
    —Kin Hubbard (F. [Frank] Mckinney Hubbard)

    In any case, raw aggression is thought to be the peculiar province of men, as nurturing is the peculiar province of women.... The psychologist Erik Erikson discovered that, while little girls playing with blocks generally create pleasant interior spaces and attractive entrances, little boys are inclined to pile up the blocks as high as they can and then watch them fall down: “the contemplation of ruins,” Erikson observes, “is a masculine specialty.”
    Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
