    “School success is not predicted by a child’s fund of facts or a precocious ability to read as much as by emotional and social measures; being self-assured and interested: knowing what kind of behavior is expected and how to rein in the impulse to misbehave; being able to wait, to follow directions, and to turn to teachers for help; and expressing needs while getting along with other children.”
    —Daniel Goleman (20th century)

    “My true friends have always given me that supreme proof of devotion, a spontaneous aversion for the man I loved.”
    —Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
