"Children should have enough freedom to be themselves – once they’ve learned the rules." ― Anna Quindlen Topic(s): Freedom Tags: children, enough, freedom, should More From Anna Quindlen "After all those years as a woman hearing ‘not thin enough, not pretty enough, not smart enough, not this enough, not that enough,’ almost overnight I woke up one morning and thought, ‘I’m enough.’" "I would be most content if my children grew up to be the kind of people who think decorating consists mostly of building enough bookshelves." "The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself." More In Freedom "The time I trust will come, perhaps within the lives of some of us, when the outline of this science will be clearly made out and generally recognised, when its nomenclature will be fixed, and its principles form a part of elementary instruction."― Nassau William Senior "Everywhere that the struggle for national freedom has triumphed, once the authorities agreed, there were military coups d’etat that overthrew their leaders. That is the result time and time again."― Ahmed Ben Bella "Institutions – government, churches, industries, and the like – have properly no other function than to contribute to human freedom; and in so far as they fail, on the whole, to perform this function, they are wrong and need reconstruction."― Charles Horton Cooley
