Don't Tell the Grown-ups
Just re-read a textbook that I had when I was in graduate school. The textbook is entitled 'Don't Tell the Grown-Ups' written by Alison Lurie. This textbook covers famous children's authors from A. A. Milne, James Barrie and several other famous authors. It covers many ideas that adults and children can learn from even though some of the ideas are quite profound in the ways of looking at the subjects and books covered. The textbook is easy to read and does not need to be read from cover to cover for professionals (writers and teachers) to derive meaning from the chapters. One could read whatever chapter they have an interest.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
