Famous quotes containing the words wilderness and/or areas:
“Thou wilt be a wilderness again,
Peopled with wolves, thy old inhabitants!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Helping children at a level of genuine intellectual inquiry takes imagination on the part of the adult. Even more, it takes the courage to become a resource in unfamiliar areas of knowledge and in ones for which one has no taste. But parents, no less than teachers, must respect a child’s mind and not exploit it for their own vanity or ambition, or to soothe their own anxiety.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
