“A word about TV: If a television is on, an infant will stare at it. This is not a sign of advanced development. TV entertains at a cost. Young children easily become dependent on the TV for stimulation and lose some of their natural drive to explore. A child with a plastic cup and spoon, a few wooden blocks, and a board book can think up fifty creative ways to use those objects; a child in front of a TV can only do one thing.”
― Benjamin Spock, Baby and Child Care

“Love is simply creation's greatest joy.”
― Hafez

“This sky
Where we live
Is no place to lose your wings
So love, love
Love.”
― Hafez, The Gift
