Children see things very well sometimes, and idealists even better. ~Lorraine Hansberry
#quotes #lorraine-hansberry #children #idealists

The wide world was changing, and she wanted a different place in it. Not just wanted, but felt she deserved. If the world didn't owe her a living, as her mother repeatedly warned her, it owed her a break. She had a strong sense that a better, more exciting, more rewarding life than that which had been the lot of her parents and grandparents was hers by right. In this she was guilty of nothing more serious than the arrogance of youth, from which every generation suffers and by which it distinguishes itself from the preceding one. ~James Robertson

I must think things out for myself and try to understand them. ~Henrik Ibsen
