“Children are geniuses.”

“Children and geniuses know that there is no bridge, only the water that lets itself be crossed.”

“He tried to scrub children's vomit from the webbing of the Tongue in a way that suggested deep reservoirs of genius.”

“Could it be we stifle our children's genius by languaging them too quickly away from their hearts and into the straight and narrow confines of linear thinking?”

“And soon all our minds will be flat as a pancake,With no room for genius exaltation or heartache.And our children and theirs will preen, smirk and chatter,With not even the sense to ask what is the matter.”

“To those great geniuses now in petticoats, who shall write novels for the beloved reader's children, these men and things will be as much legend and history as Nineveh, or Coeur de Lion, or Jack Sheppard.”
