“Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, water bugs, tadpoles, frogs, mud turtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb. Brooks to wade, water lilies, woodchucks, bats, bees, butterflies, various animals to pet, hayfields, pine-cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets; and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of education.” ShouldChildrenHas BeensWaterAnimalTreeChildhoodRocksShould HaveVariousPetSandClimbsButterflyBeesPieBatsMudSnakesBugsDeprivedFrogsLiliesBrooksTurtlesStrawberriesWadeAcornsConesChestnutsGrasshoppersHuckleberryHornetsTadpolesWater LilyMud PiesWild StrawberriesWoodchucks Book:The Training Of The Human Plant Source: The Training Of The Human Plant
“Lord Akeldama did so love to know all the gossip about the mundane world, but it was in the manner of a cat amusing himself among the butterflies without a need to interfere should their wings get torn off. They were only butterflies, after all.” KnowsWorldNeedsShouldLordCatWingsGossipButterflyInterfereTornMundaneAmusing Author:Gail Carriger
“Melville had to fight, fight against the existing world, against his own very self. Only he would never quite put the knife in the heart of his paradisal ideal. Somehow, somewhere, somewhen, love should be a fulfillment, and life should be a thing of bliss. That was his fixed ideal. Fata Morgana. That was the pin he tortured himself on, like a pinned-down butterfly.” WorldShouldHeartSelfFightingIdealsFulfillmentFixedBlissKnivesButterflyNever QuitPinsMelvilleMorgana Book:Delphi Complete Works of D.H.
