More on Children
“You're never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.”
“If you strike a child, take care that you strike it in anger, even at the risk of maiming it for life. A blow in cold blood neither can nor should be forgiven.”
“I think that if all kids aspire to reach a point where they could feed themselves and a few of their friends, this would be good for the world surely.”
More on Imagination
“Looking back, I guess I used to play-act all the time. For one thing, it meant I could live in a more interesting world than the one around me.”
“The quality of the imagination is to flow and not to freeze.”
“evenThe bed of love, that in the imaginationHad seemed to be the giver of all peace,Is no more than a wine-cup in the tasting,And as soon finished.”
