WHAT IS LOVELY ABOUT CHILDREN is that they can make such a production, such a big deal out of everything or nothing. I never want to be where I cannot see it. All that energy and foolishness, all that CURIOSITY, all those questions, talk, fierce passions, unconsolable sorrows, immoderate joys, seem to many a nuisance to be endured, if not a disease to be cured. To me they are a national asset, a treasure beyond price. John Holt |
