“The child who would be an adult must give up any lingering childlike sense of parental power, either the magical ability to solve your problems for you or the dreaded ability to make you turn back into a child.

—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“Talent is nothing but a prolonged period of attention and a shortened period of mental assimilation.”
