“[Children are] like talking animals. Their consciousness is so different from ours that they constitute a different species. They don't have to be particularly interesting children; just the fact that they are children is sufficient. They don't know what anything is, so they have to make it up. No matter how dull they are, they still have to figure things out for themselves.” KnowsChildrenStillsDifferentMatterFactsAnimalInterestingConsciousnessTalkingFiguresSpeciesSufficientDull Author:Fran Lebowitz
“Lastly came Winter cloathed all in frize, Chattering his teeth for cold that did him chill; Whilst on his hoary beard his breath did freese, And the dull drops, that from his purpled bill As from a limebeck did adown distill: In his right hand a tipped staffe he held, With which his feeble steps he stayed still; For he was faint with cold, and weak with eld; That scarce his loosed limbes he hable was to weld.” StillsHandsStepsColdWeakBreathsBillsWinterTeethDullChillBeardScarce Book:The Faerie Queene: Disposed Into Twelve Bookes Fashioning XII Morall Vertues Source: The Faerie Queene: Disposed Into Twelve Bookes Fashioning XII Morall Vertues
