“Never lie to a child about doctors or medicine or anything else; but if you feel, as some people seem to feel, that life without lying is an impossibility, at least don't lie about the amount of pain likely to result from a surgical procedure, or about the taste of some medicine. If you know that something to be done will hurt, say so; if a mixture to be swallowed is unpleasant, say so. If you deceive a child once in such matters, do not imagine that it will trust you again. You do not deserve trust, and you will not get it.” PeopleIfsKnowsFeelsChildrenMatterDoneSeemsPainLyingHurtResultsImagineAmountTasteDeserveDoctorsMedicineImagine ThatDeceivingImpossibilityMixturesProceduresYou AgainNever LieDon't Lie Book:The House and Home: A Practical Book Source: The House and Home: A Practical Book
“The future is always fairyland to the young. Life is like a beautiful and winding lane, on either side bright flowers, and beautiful butterflies and tempting fruits, which we scarcely pause to admire and to taste, so eager are we to hasten to an opening which we imagine will be more beautiful still. But by degrees, as we advance, the trees grow bleak; the flowers and butterflies fail, the fruits disappear, and we find we have arrived--to reach a desert waste.” StillsBeautifulYoungLife IsGrowsSidesImagineFailingTreeFlowerTasteFutureDegreesWasteFruitDisappearAdmireOpeningDesertButterflyPausesLife Is LikeLanesBleakTemptingYoung LifeBeautiful Butterfly Author:George Augustus Henry Sala

“If we got an educational program going, we could tell people, "Instead of butter, use avocado." That's something we eat, it has the good fat, and it has a good texture, and it tastes better. Just imagine if you substituted that. Or if we switched to olive oil, the extra virgin olive oil, we could still have our taquitos, but put a little oil on them and put them in the oven and bake them.” PeopleIfsLittlesStillsUseImagineTasteProgramEducationalOilFatsExtrasVirginsTextureOlivesOvensOlive OilAvocadosEducational Programs Author:Sandra Cisneros

“So what’s it like to live without emotions? (Geary) It’s hard. Imagine a world without taste. A world where you can see the colors and all, but you can’t feel it. A beautiful clear day can never choke you up. A child’s laughter doesn’t make you smile. You don’t look at a bunny and think ‘how cute.’ You feel absolutely nothing. It’s like being wrapped in thick cotton all the time.

“She imagines him imagining her. This is her salvation. In spirit she walks the city, traces its labyrinths, its dingy mazes: each assignation, each rendezvous, each door and stair and bed. What he said, what she said, what they did, what they did then. Even the times they argued, fought, parted, agonized, rejoined. How they’d loved to cut themselves on each other, taste their own blood. We were ruinous together, she thinks.
