Famous quotes containing the words hitting, home and/or run:
“It is not [the toddlers] job yet to consider other peoples feelings, he has to come to terms with his own first. If he hits you and you hit him back to show him what it feels like, you will have given a lesson he is not ready to learn. He will wail as if hitting was a totally new idea to him. He makes no connections between what he did to you and what you then did to him; between your feelings and his own.”
—Penelope Leach (20th century)
“Fairs are good places to eat, particularly for stand-up eaterswhich is one of the kinds of eaters I am, although when I eat standing up away from home I sometimes miss the familiar cool breeze coming from the open refrigerator.”

“Not to these shores she came! this other Thrace,
Environ barbarous to the royal Attic;
How could her delicate dirge run democratic,
Delivered in a cloudless boundless public place
To an inordinate race?”
—John Crowe Ransom (18881974)
