—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
“The poorest children in a community now find the beneficent kindergarten open to them from the age of two-and-a-half to six years.

—Virginia Thrall Smith (1836–1903)
“A man who can dominate a London dinner table can dominate the world. The future belongs to the dandy. It is the exquisites who are going to rule.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
