Famous quotes containing the words books and/or children:

    I do not hesitate to read ... all good books in translations. What is really best in any book is translatable—any real insight or broad human sentiment.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Parents do not give up their children to strangers lightly. They wait in uncertain anticipation for an expression of awareness and interest in their children that is as genuine as their own. They are subject to ambivalent feelings of trust and competitiveness toward a teacher their child loves and to feelings of resentment and anger when their child suffers at her hands. They place high hopes in their children and struggle with themselves to cope with their children’s failures.
    Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
