Adventure Quote by Louise J. Kaplan
“The invisible bond that gives the baby rein to discover his place in the world also brings the creeping baby back to home base…In this way he recharges himself. He refuels on the loving energies that flow to him from his mother. Then he's off for another foray of adventure and exploration.”
