Wooden Castles

Famous quotes containing the words wooden and/or castles:

    So, laying his cheek against the dresser’s wooden one,
    He died making up stories, the ones
    Not every child wanted to listen to.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Once we begin to appreciate that the apparent destructiveness of the toddler in taking apart a flower or knocking down sand castles is in fact a constructive effort to understand unity, we are able to revise our view of the situation, moving from reprimand and prohibition to the intelligent channeling of his efforts and the fostering of discovery.
    Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)
