“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem?

—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)

—Tertullian (c. 150–230)

Can mark the figures on an Indian chest.”
