“A child’s world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of
wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed
vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed
and even lost before we reach adulthood. If I had influence with the good fairy
who is supposed to preside over the christening of all children, I should ask
that her gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so indestructible
that it would last throughout life, as an unfailing antidote against the
boredom and disenchantment of later years…the alienation from the sources of
our strength.”
