Famous quotes containing the words brighter and/or summer:
“Preschoolers sound much brighter and more knowledgeable than they really are, which is why so many parents and grandparents are so sure their progeny are gifted and super-bright. Because childrens questions sound so mature and sophisticated, we are tempted to answer them at a level of abstraction far beyond the childs level of comprehension. That is a temptation we should resist.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“I think of no news to tell you. It is a serene summer day here, all above the snow. The hens steal their nests, and I steal their eggs still, as formerly. This is what I do with the hands. Ah, labor,it is a divine institution, and conversation with many men and hens.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
