“Men are suppressing woman politically, philosophically, socially, through denying them education, equal rights, equal employment, and just by setting up a description of the world in which a woman views herself as a vessel, as someone who's only there to have children, as someone who can't succeed, even spiritually.” MenWorldChildrenWomenViewsRightsSucceedEqualEnlightenmentSettingSettingsEmploymentDescriptionVesselEqual RightsSuppressing Author:Frederick Lenz
“Attention spans are changing. It's very noticeable. I am very aware that the kind of books I read in my childhood kids now won't be able to read. I was reading Kipling and PG Wodehouse and Shakespeare at the age of 11. The kind of description and detail I read I would not put in my books. I don't know how much you can fight that because you want children to read. So I pack in excitement and plot and illustrations and have a cliffhanger every chapter. Charles Dickens was doing cliffhangers way back when. But even with all the excitement you have to make children care about the characters.” KnowsWayWantKindChildrenBookCharacterCareKidsAgeAbleFightingReadingAttentionKnow HowChildhoodDetailsExcitementDescriptionPlotChaptersPacksBack WhenIllustrationDickensAttention SpanChild CareCliffhangerKiplingWay Back When Author:Cressida Cowell
“In the vivid description of the Gospel, it would seem that we must help the Christ hidden in every poor man, in every prisioner, in every sufferer. But if we paraphrased the marvelous scene and applied it to the child, we should find that Christ goes to help all men in the form of the child.” IfsMenShouldChildrenHelpingSeemsFormChristPoorSceneDescriptionMarvelousVividPoor ManSufferersParaphrased Author:Maria Montessori
