Ragged Child

Famous quotes containing the words ragged and/or child:

    An ancient bridge, and a more ancient tower,
    A farmhouse that is sheltered by its wall,
    An acre of stony ground,
    Where the symbolic rose can break in flower,
    Old ragged elms, old thorns innumerable....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    How a child is taught affects his image of himself, which in turn, influences what he will dare and care to try to learn. The interdependence of the two is inescapable.
    Barbara Biber (20th century)
