“Whenever I listen to a children’s orchestra, I learn. They feel everything, they enjoy everything, they have amazing energy.”– Gustavo Dudamel Related Quotes “Censoring books that deal with difficult, adolescent issues does not protect anybody. Quite the opposite. It leaves kids in the darkness and makes them vulnerable. Censorship is the child of fear and the father of ignorance. Our children cannot afford to have the truth of the world withheld from them”— Laurie Halse Anderson “A little girl who finds a puzzle frustrating might ask her busy mother (or teacher) for help. The child gets one message if her mother expresses clear pleasure at the request and quite another if mommy responds with a curt ‘Don’t bother me – I’ve got important work to do.’”— Daniel Goleman “My mother? My own mother told my lady governess that if the baby and I were in danger then they should save the baby.”— Philippa Gregory
