Famous quotes containing the word ages:
“Gaining a better understanding of how children’s minds work at different ages will allow you to make more sense of their behaviors. With this understanding come decreased stress and increased pleasure from being a parent. It lessens the frustrations that come from expecting things that a child simply cannot do or from incorrectly interpreting a child’s behavior in adult terms.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“What distinguishes modern art from the art of other ages is criticism.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)

—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
