Hippopotamus/behavior

Famous quotes containing the words hippopotamus and/or behavior:

    Wildly dissimilar
    yet actuated by the same fear,
    the hippopotamus and the wild-deer
    hide by the same river.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    A method of child-rearing is not—or should not be—a whim, a fashion or a shibboleth. It should derive from an understanding of the developing child, of his physical and mental equipment at any given stage, and, therefore, his readiness at any given stage to adapt, to learn, to regulate his behavior according to parental expectations.
    Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
