“I HAVE no patience with the hypothesis occasionally expressed, and often implied, especially in tales written to teach children to be good, that babies are born pretty much alike, and that the sole agencies in creating differences between boy and boy, and man and man, are steady application and moral effort. It is in the most unqualified manner that I object to pretensions of natural equality. The experiences of the nursery, the school, the University, and of professional careers, are a chain of proofs to the contrary.” MenChildrenSchoolBornNaturalDifferencesEffortMoralBoysCareersTeachWrittenObjectsBabyCreatingUniversityBe GoodProofContraryTalesChainsAgencyApplicationSteadySoleHypothesisPretensionNurseryImpliedUnqualifiedNo PatienceProfessional CareerI Have No Patience Book:Hereditary Genius: An Inquiry Into Its Laws and Consequences Source: Hereditary Genius: An Inquiry Into Its Laws and Consequences
“You are lovable. Can you show me any baby in any nursery who isn't priceless? No. There's no such thing as a worthless newborn. And the essential value that was born into brand-new-baby you can never be extinguished. This means that even if you think you're being absolutely honest, believing yourself to be anything other than astonishing, incomparable, and infinitely precious makes you a habitual liar.” IfsThinkingBelieveMeanShowsValuesBornHonestBabyEssentialsBrandsLiarsShow MeWorthlessAstonishingPricelessHabitualNurseryBrand NewNewbornLovableIncomparableNew Baby Author:Martha Beck
“Boys like romantic [fairy] tales; but babies like realistic tales - because they find them romantic...This proves that even nursery tales only echo an almost prenatal leap of interest and amazement. These tales say that apples were golden only to refresh the forgotten moment when we found that they were green. They make rivers run with wine only to make us remember, for one wild moment, that they run with water.” MomentsRunningRememberFoundInterestWaterBoysBabyProveRiversGreenWineForgottenTalesGoldenApplesFairyLeapRealisticFairy TaleEchoesNurseryAmazement Author:Gilbert K.

“I was in total shock. I work so close [to home] that I figured I'd return to work and the baby nurse would bring the baby to me, and I'd run home periodically, and I'd make it work. But every two hours? That's a whole other level. I'll have to make a nursery at the office.” TwoWholeHomeRunningHoursLevelsBabyReturnOfficeShockNurseNursery Author:Ivanka Trump
