“We make butterflies by feeding caterpillars, not by trying to paste wings on them. Kids need to like themselves the way they are, and we can help them develop a positive self-image.” WayNeedsTryingChildrenSelfHelpingKidsWingsButterflyFeedingCaterpillarsPositive SelfPositive Self Image Author:Louise Hart
“Too many poets act like a middle-aged mother trying to get her kids to eat too much cooked meat, and potatoes with drippings (tears). I don't give a damn whether they eat or not. Forced feeding leads to excessive thinness (effete). Nobody should experience anything they don't need to, if they don't need poetry bully for them. I like the movies too. And after all, only Whitman and Crane and Williams, of the American poets, are better than the movies.” IfsNeedsGivingShouldTryingKidsMotherToo MuchMiddleTearsPoetDamnMeatFeedingBullyPotatoesMiddle AgedDrippingDon't Give A DamnCranesI Don't Give A DamnThinnessMeat And Potatoes Author:Frank O'Hara
