Famous quotes containing the word types:

    “He types his laboured column—weary drudge!
    Senile fudge and solemn:
    Spare, editor, to condemn
    These dry leaves of his autumn.”
    —Robertson Davies (b. 1913)

    “The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
    —Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)

    “He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.”
    —Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Johnson (Reginald Gardner)
