Notable Quotations
"Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children." - Rosaleen Dickson (1921-)
"Talent is no accident of birth. In today's society a good many people seem to have the idea that if one is born without talent, there is nothing he can do about it; they simply resign themselves to what they consider to be their fate." - Shinichi Suzuki (1898-1998)
"Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them." - Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)
"Art exists for the human species. I think that all of the people who love art, those who teach art, and all of you should burn with the obligation to save the world." - Shinichi Suzuki (1898-1998)
