FRANCOISE DOLTO AND LANGUAGE is about one of the greatest psychoanalysts the world has known; she was one of the pioneers of child psychoanalysis. Pierre F. Walter interviewed Francoise Dolto in 1986, after having visited "La Maison Verte" in Paris, a communication center she had created for parents and children, that mainly served to prepare children for greater lapses of time away from their parents and the early Kindergarten experience. The interview took place in Dolto's apartment at 260, rue Saint-Jacques, near the Pantheon, Paris. The author reports that he discussed with Dr. Dolto his permissive educational approach and that the dialogue then expanded on Summerhill, R. D. Laing's work with psychotic children in England, compared to Dr. Dolto's own approach to healing child psychosis. Eventually, they discovered a similarity of opinions about the psychoanalytic theories of Alice Miller and Lloyd DeMause. The author relates that Francoise Dolto was by and large critical regarding these authors' almost obsessive stress on 'child protection'. A correspondence followed up to the interview which was published, after Dr. Dolto's death, with the author's permission, by Gallimard Publishers, Paris. The author clarifies Francoise Dolto's position with regard to Freud's theory of the Oedipus Complex and her very clear-cut views and expert opinions on child sexuality. The volume comes with all quotes in the book reviews translated to English by the author, who is bilingual German-French. The quotes collections, however, were intentionally left in their original French version.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 - April 21, 1910), better known by his pen name Mark Twain, was an American author andhumorist. He is most noted for his novels, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876), and its sequel, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1885), the latter often called "the Great American Novel."Twain grew up in Hannibal, Missouri, which would later provide the setting for Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. He apprenticed with a printer. He also worked as a typesetter and contributed articles to his older brother Orion's newspaper. After toiling as a printer in various cities, he became a master riverboat pilot on the Mississippi River, before heading west to join Orion. He was a failure at gold mining, so he next turned to journalism. While a reporter, he wrote a humorous story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," which became very popular and brought nationwide attention. His travelogues were also well received. Twain had found his calling. -wikipedia
As a mother, grandmother and great grandmother, I would like to leave my family the most important wisdom which is to know God. A deep intimate relationship as you walk with him, talk and listen to him, praise him, thank him and glorify him. It does not matter what possessions you acquire, the position in life you attain for they are temporary but the wisdom of God is eternal. As Jesus said, "I can do nothing by myself, my Father who is with me does the work." As he shows me I can go and do likewise, so listen, go and do likewise.

"We cannot do great deeds unless we are willing to do the small things that make up the sum of greatness." on Action "The American people are good-natured to the point of lax indifference; but once roused, they act with the most straightforward and practical resolution." on America Speak softly and carry a big stick you will go far. If a man continually blusters, if he lacks civility, a big stick will not save him from trouble; and neither will speaking softly avail, if back of the softness there does not lie strength, power. on the Big Stick We are, as a whole, still in that low state of civilization where we do not understand that it is also vandalism wantonly to destroy or to permit the destruction of what is beautiful in nature, whether it be a cliff, a forest, or a species of mammal or bird. Here in the United States we turn our rivers and streams into sewers and dumping-grounds, we pollute the air, we destroy forests, and exterminate fishes, birds and mammals not to speak of vulgarizing charming landscapes with hideous advertisements. But at last it looks as if our people were awakening. on Natural Resources The public life of Theodore Roosevelt (1858 1919) was marked by his service as the twenty-sixth President of the United States, Vice President, Governor of New York State, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, U.S. Civil Service Commissioner, President of the New York City Police Commission, and New York State Assemblyman. In his life outside of government he was famous as an author, naturalist, rancher, big game hunter, and explorer. The twentieth century would become known as the American Century, and it was Theodore Roosevelt, through his foreign policy, who ushered the United States into the ranks of the world's great powers. In domestic affairs, he used his presidential powers to level the playing field between capital and labor, to protect consumers, and to establish a conservation program that was far-sighted and comprehensive, covering the nation's natural resources, its wilderness areas, its endangered species, its scenic beauty, and the cultural artifacts of its indigenous peoples. Distilled from Roosevelt s voluminous writings and speeches, In the Words of Theodore Roosevelt is a discerning collection of quotations by this American icon who continues to inspire and captivate an extraordinary array of twenty-first-century Americans. Carefully selected and organized by topic by Patricia O Toole, these quotations reflect the vast range of Roosevelt s interests, the depth of his wisdom, his almost superhuman energy, and his directness. Many of the issues that Roosevelt addressed from America s international role to the environment remain pressing concerns today, giving his century-old words remarkable currency. This singular collection of quotations enhanced by O Toole s illuminating introductory essay, notes on biographical and historical context, and bibliographies of Roosevelt s writings is a trove for writers, teachers, students, and all who recognize Theodore Roosevelt s unique role in U.S. history."
