Quote by Helen Hayes

Age is not important unless you're a cheese.

Age is not important unless you're a cheese.

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that the notion of age being significant is often exaggerated. While cheese is known to develop flavor and improve with age, the quote implies that this is not the case for humans. It reminds us not to overly focus on age and instead focus on other factors that truly matter in life. We shouldn't let age define or limit us but instead embrace each moment and make the most of our experiences regardless of our age.

Learning to read has been reduced to a process of mastering

Learning to read has been reduced to a process of mastering a series of narrow, specific, hierarchical skills. Where armed-forces recruits learn the components of a rifle or the intricacies of close order drill by the numbers, recruits to reading learn its mechanics sound by sound and word by word.
