| fe92a59 | An I Q cannot measure artistic ability. A potential Picasso may be a flop at objective vocabulary or number tests. An I Q does not measure a capacity for love...How do we teach a child - our own, or those in a classroom to have compassion: to allow people to be different; to understand that like is not equal; to experiment; to laugh: to love. | Madeleine L'Engle | ||
| 10c077b | What is man--and of course the writer means all of us puny little insignificant creatures--what is a mere human being that God who made the immense universe should ever notice?'

E il profumo scendeva in loro, direttamente al cuore, e la distingueva categoricamente la simpatia dal d.. | Patrick Süskind | ||

| b6a2c92 | He still had enough perfume left to enslave the whole world if he so chose. He could walk to Versailles and have the king kiss his feet. He could write the pope a perfumed letter and reveal himself as the new Messiah. He could do all this, and more, if he wanted to. He possessed a power stronger than the power of money, or terror, or death - the invincible power to command the love of man kind. There was only one thing the perfume could not.. | Patrick Süskind | ||
