Quotes edit

  • We're free and easy. We're not very authoritative. We have no doctrine, no dogma. It is a community of mostly people who are interested in the arts, literature, photography, music.

"'Hitting a child is worse than MURDER!"

Irving Fiske said this every time he gave a talk on childhood and children. He was a children's rights activist ahead of his time.
