Famous quotes containing the words active and/or level:
“If church prelates, past or present, had even an inkling of physiology theyd realise that what they term this inner ugliness creates and nourishes the hearing ear, the seeing eye, the active mind, and energetic body of man and woman, in the same way that dirt and dung at the roots give the plant its delicate leaves and the full-blown rose.”
—Sean OCasey (18841964)
“Preschoolers sound much brighter and more knowledgeable than they really are, which is why so many parents and grandparents are so sure their progeny are gifted and super-bright. Because childrens questions sound so mature and sophisticated, we are tempted to answer them at a level of abstraction far beyond the childs level of comprehension. That is a temptation we should resist.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
