Memory...

"To ensure that the self doesn't shrink, to see that it holds on to its volume, memories have to be watered like potted flowers, and the watering calls for regular contact with the witnesses of the past, that is to say, with friends."  --Milan Kundera

Children...

I love these little people; and it is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us.
(Charles Dickens)

I have seen the 2nd half of this quote before, but not the beginning. I did not know it was Dickens.

Back to School Time...

“Education is not the filling of a pail,
but the lighting of a fire"

William Butler Yeats
