Famous quotes containing the words quality and/or life:
“Gaiety—a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
“The new concept of the child as equal and the new integration of children into adult life has helped bring about a gradual but certain erosion of these boundaries that once separated the world of children from the word of adults, boundaries that allowed adults to treat children differently than they treated other adults because they understood that children are different.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
