Other wars end eventually in victory, defeat or exhaustion, but the war between men and women goes on forever Picture Quote #1

The great subversive works of children’s literature suggest that there are other views of human life besides those of the shopping mall and the corporation. They mock current assumptions and express the imaginative, unconventional, noncommercial view of the world in its simplest and purest form. They appeal to the imaginative, questioning, rebellious child within all of us, renew our instinctive energy, and act as a force for change. This is why such literature is worthy of our attention and will endure long after more conventional tales have been forgotten Picture Quote #1

We can lie in the language of dress or try to tell the truth; but unless we are naked and bald, it is impossible to be silent Picture Quote #1

We can lie in the language of dress or try ot tell the truth; but unless we are naked and bald, it is impossible to be silent Picture Quote #1
