And the great owners, who must lose their land in an upheaval, the great owners with access to history, with eyes to read history and to know the great fact: when property accumulates in too few hands it is taken away. And that companion fact: when a majority of the people are hungry and cold they will take by force what they need. And the little screaming fact that sounds through all history: repression works only to strengthen and knit the repressed.

Middlemarch / George Eliot

Each time he took a walk, he felt as though he were leaving himself behind, and by giving himself up to the movement of the streets, by reducing himself to a seeing eye, he was able to escape the obligation to think, and this, more than anything else, brought him a measure of peace, a salutary emptiness within...By wandering aimlessly, all places became equal, and it no longer mattered where he was. On his best walks, he was able to feel that he was nowhere. And this, finally, was all he ever asked of things: to be nowhere.

Paul Auster / City of Glass

The Importance of Bilingualism in Early Childhood

Growing up in a bilingual environment can have many cognitive, social, and cultural benefits for young children. Research suggests that bilingual children may have enhanced problem-solving skills, greater cognitive flexibility, and a deeper understanding of language structure and meaning. Bilingualism can also promote cultural understanding and help children connect with their heritage and identity. Parents who speak multiple languages can support their child's bilingualism by speaking to them in both languages, exposing them to diverse cultural experiences, and providing books and resources in both languages.
