Youngest Daughter

Famous quotes containing the words youngest and/or daughter:

    Miss Mary Emerson is here,—the youngest person in Concord, though about eighty,—and the most apprehensive of a genuine thought; earnest to know of your inner life; most stimulating society; and exceedly witty withal. She says they called her old when she was young, and she has never grown any older. I wish you could see her.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    My son and daughter tell me where they are in very different ways. I know where my son is because I hear him. I know where my daughter is because she tells me.
    —Anonymous Father. Raising a Daughter by Jeanne Elium and Don Elium, ch. 1 (1994)
