A daughter of Eve ... had better be fifty leagues off—or in her warm bed—or playing with a case-knife—or any thing you please—than make a man the object of her attention, when the house and all the furniture is her own.
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

Parents who want a fresh point of view on their furniture are advised to drop down on all fours and accompany the nine or ten month old on his rounds.

The ten month old will study this marvel with as much concentration and reverence as a tourist in the Cathedral of Chartres.
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
